Did you know that there is a new, private sculpture museum in Putney?

On August 24 at 6 p.m., Brattleboro Museum & Art Center is launching a new series for museum members called "Hidden in the Hills," which consists of occasional tours led by chief curator Mara Williams of artist studios and special collections located throughout southern Vermont.

The Brattleboro River Rats used a perfect suicide squeeze to break a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning and went on to defeat the Putney Fossils 5-1 in Sunday's Connecticut River Valley Baseball League playoff game. Brattleboro's Marty Vallender and Putney's Travis Watson were locked in a pitcher's duel for most of the game.

Walter Hendricks, once known as the “Johnny Appleseed” of small colleges,
had a dream in 1951. That dream was Windham College, a small liberal arts
school beginning in the basement of his home in Putney and growing to almost 900
students at its peak.

I am interested in finding a used Recumbent Exercise Bike.

The Transition Putney team has completed their Local Farm Directory and Produce Map.

http://transition.putney.net/farms.html

Our directory has over 45 farms from Southern Vermont and New Hampshire. This is a live interactive map allowing people to visually see all the farms in our area, get directions and farm details.

Using Google Map technology; it is a visually stunning showcase of the many farms in our area, and also a way to see each farm’s layout from the sky.. We are adding features all the time like a search system to help people find exactly what they want to purchase, or a listing of CSA or farmers markets in your area.. This will help local farmers sell produce and help people find farms near them. Southern Vermont is so rich in fruits and vegetables, many farms are pick your own, or offer CSA and are organic, we designed this website to encourage local food production and consumption. We are happy to list any farm in our area.

A black cat with golden eyes who appeared in our yard one day needs a loving home. He is young - probably around a year - and is great with kids and dogs. We fell in love with him and took him in, but allergies and a busy road prevent us from keeping him. He would be much happier in a home than a barn, and would appear to be a good mouser, based on the carcasses we've found around the house... He seems fairly adaptable and would be a wonderful animal companion. I've posted a rather grainy photo of him here:

The event will be an expression of gratitude for the plenitude of food that is growing and being harvested in the Putney Community Gardens, and in all of Putney. at this time. It is a celebratory recognition of our interconnectedness with the Earth, and with Each Other, as we engage in growing our food and being nourished by it.

Come join us Wednesday for one hour of Ritual, Song, Poetry, Story, Music, and Dance!
