This week, a group of Woodstock-area volunteers helped make Thanksgiving a brighter time of year for local families in need. Saturday was pick-up day for the annual Thanksgiving Project by the Woodstock Community Food Shelf.

As the cold deepens and the colors turn, let’s embrace the happiness that nature’s brilliance inspires and share it with others.

Creative solutions were the highlight of Friday’s state press briefing, as Vermont Education Secretary Dan French emphasized a collaboration between Woodstock Elementary School and Billings Farm & Museum as a way to help students fully return to in-person learning.
