News and Notes – Happy 4th!
CVR Birthdays this Week!
Happy Birthday to: Brian Carlson, Darragh Ellerson, Jo-Ann Beaudin (new AG!), Estherline Carlson, Elizabeth Managan, and Lydia Petty.
Montpelier Mile – next CVR/ORO Race Series race
Montpelier Mile is at 6pm on Wednesday, July 3 (right before the parade). Register here for lower price and to avoid the crowd on race day.
Volunteers! Here is an easy way to get your volunteer requirement out of the way: a very short race! Donna Smyers needs a few volunteers to help with registration and finish line. Email Donna if you can help.
Bear Swamp Run is Next!
Then the next race series race (8th in the series) is the Bear Swamp Run on Saturday, July 13th at 9am. This is the 41st annual running of this race, which has been on different days over the years but still is the same hilly dirt road course leaving from Rumney School in Middlesex. It’s only $10!
Fun Run on July 9th – Julio’s
Let’s go to Julio’s after the July 9 Fun Run. As usual, I will get a head count at 5:30pm right before the run. If you want to go to Julio’s but don’t plan to be at the run, let me know so I can include you in the count. We usually get there at 6:30pm after the Fun Run.
Leaf Peepers Update
Remember that Leaf Peepers entry fees for both the half and 5K go up September 1. By registering early you get the best price and are committed to training for the event. At least 83 people have taken that advice and registered early. Don’t forget!
Next CVR Meeting and Newsletter Deadline
The next CVR meeting will be Monday, August 12 in Craftsbury. We will combine this with a summer picnic. More details to follow.
That means there is a newsletter coming up. Please send your contributions to Maryke Gillis by August 7.
Cotton Brook Landslide
You may have heard about the landslide in the Cotton Brook area in Waterbury/Stowe. Here is the latest. It sounds like the 10 mile or so loop may be gone forever, but the Cotton Brook Rd. is still intact.
