A new exhibition at The Waterville Public Gallery:

Appalachian Walks

photos by Virginia Keith

"Bill Bryson's A Walk In The Woods" is his hilarious and sometimes painful account of hiking the Appalachian Trail. My own walks in the Appalachian woods are more frequent and less ambitious as I am generally accompanied by two energetic sporting dogs. I am often stopped in my tracks by the outrageous interplay of light and color and form that nature provides all around us. And, it's free for the taking!... These landscapes were all taken in The Town of Brookfield or Town of Sangerfield with the exception of the one of The Great Smoky Mountains."

Stop by and see the exhibit before the end of February!

Also able to happen over the weekend was the Miller's Mills Ice Harvest tradition. After being canceled several years in a row due to poor weather conditions, this year was deemed a large and successful event.

-IN THE NEWS- Although the groundhog did just predict an early spring and it certainly felt that way for a few days, it seems we are going to be getting a little more winter. With predictions of lake effect snow up to 10 inches by Friday morning and frigid weather coming this weekend it's probably best if we all enjoy this time doing something indoors with friends and family. For the latest on this winter weather visit cnycentral.com . ****** -IN THE MAIL- -The Farmers Market has been cancelled for today- From the Waterville Farmers Market: "Because of the weather showing more snow and gusty winds into Thursday, we are canceling today's market at Morgan's Hardware.
