Westminster West Community Fair to Be Held Saturday, September 11

The small-town country fair serves as an end-of-summer party and a way for Windham County residents and visitors to connect at a low-key venue in the heart of an old Vermont village. The fair features a variety of activities for all age groups, including a parade, talent show, road race and annual “whack the corn cob” game. There is also a silent auction, golden elephant sale, art show, vegetable contest, and other activities.
The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Westminster West. Attendance is free, and there also is a barbecue chicken lunch and other food for sale.

You were born a healer! Each and every one of us is born with the gift and ability to help ourselves and others heal physically, mentally, and spiritually. This is one of the foundational teachings of Spring Forest Qigong.

Qigong (chee gong) is an ancient form of exercise that is 5,000 years old. In China, qigong is one of the secrets to living a long and healthy life. The simple movements induce a calm, meditative state that relaxes the mind, improves one’s health, and enhances the quality of life. When practiced regularly, qigong can greatly improve symptoms and the underlying cause of many disease, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, asthma, cancer, and many other chronic illnesses. It is also an excellent form of preventative healthcare.

The Town Clerk & Treasurer's office will be closed on Saturday, Sept. 4 due to the Labor Day Holiday.
