... and Thanks to Beth Cummings for the idea, several years ago, that she and her neighbors could just get together for a walk around the Old Main's mile on West Street. She did and they have done that annually on the Fourth of July ever since.

Her walk turned into a bona fide parade with local floats, music and the whole nine yards. It was the only 4th of July Parade in the North Quabbin region. Damn fine time, we'd say. Thanks Beth

Rik Marsh,  West Street,- Runs the Easter Egg Hunt  and Fourth of July parade every year, helps out at the dump and serves as a Selectman.

Tom Pugliese, Main Street - Home builder, Dad.  

So that's it for now. Thanks.
