I'm sure you have seen the ads for the Capture My Vermont contest that has been going on. I decided to join, and submitted a few photos. There was a Franklin County Challenge, and I submitted the picture of the new ladder truck/fire department group photo. I called it "The Gift" as Rett Heald and Tom Hungerford donated to use of the truck to the department.  Not sure if it was the picture, or the subject matter, but the picture was chosen as the 'Random Winner" in the FC Challenge. Then, in an ad in the Buyers Digest, it was mentioned as the Grand Prize winner. As a result, I won a Samsung ST95 digital camera. Still can't believe I won.

At 1pm today, fire and rescue departments will pull their trucks and ambulances out of their stations and blow their sirens for ONE FULL MINUTE to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
Here in Fairfax, Steve Bessette will blow the civil defense alarm located in back of the station for one full minute.
Please do not be alarmed, there is no emergency when the siren is activated.
Thank you.

Louise Decker sent along this picture from the August 1984 Fairfax Parade on Main Street. Not sure who the driver of the car is, but in the back is Giles Boissoneault and Bennett Greene, who was running for State Representative for Fairfax/Westford. He lost that year to the incumbent, Al Woodward. You can also see Tim Collins in the background.

Dean Reynolds posted this picture on Facebook. This is Fonda Speedway under water. The wide area in the middle is the Mohawk River. You can see the grandstands and the wall circling part of the track.
I was really surprised they had that much flooding that far west.

I just heard that the Wrong-Way Bridge in Cambridge is closed. Can anyone confirm?
Margie and I went to Cambridge earlier this evening, around 6:30-7pm. Water was within 4 feet of the road then.
As of 9:30pm, I had 4 inches in the rain gauge.

Heard someone hammering down in the village Saturday night around 10:30. Walked down to check it out. Thought maybe they were covering the windows on Foothills Bakery.
Saw what someone did in anticipation of the hurricane's arrival. Didn't have a camera with me, so I went down Sunday morning and took a picture.

Louise Decker sent me some more pictures that she has scanned from slides. This time pictures are from the start of the Country Fair Parade, early in August 1977, that her husband David took, as the participants come out of the driveway of the Parish Center. The parade used to go from the Center, now St. Luke's, south down Main Street, down Main Hill, turn right onto School Street, up onto Hunt Street, and finish around in back of the school.

The Fairfax Historical Society will be meeting Sunday August 21st at 6:30pm in the Fairfax Community Library.
The program for the evening will be an interactive unit called The Thousand Word Project.
Based on the idea that "a picture is worth a thousand words", everyone will be able to observe an old picture(below) of Gaut Falls, later known as Fairfax Falls. Those observations will be recorded and noted, and in the end, a tally taken, to see if a picture really IS worth a thousand words. The actual picture, in a frame is quite large.
The agenda for the meeting is below the picture.
The public is invited to attend. For more information, call 849-6638  Fairfax Historical Society
