Tom Chism has bought the General Store. The Pittsfield General Store will be hosting Free Brick Oven Pizza and cookies for all of 2009 on Sundays from 4:30 to 6:00 pm. A $2 donation is suggested with all proceeds going to The Pittsfield Library, The Pittsfield Fire Department and the Fast Squad. A good chance for all of our communities to "Mix it UP' like they teach at the Stockbridge Elementary School.

madmotion Asian American Lunar New Year Celebration, Rochester Style 0 Jan 15 2009, 8:54 PM EST by madmotion

Rochester, VT – The town of Rochester will celebrate the Year of the Ox, 4707 in a library program designed to encourage community diversity, cultural understanding, and tolerance. The two hour event will be held on Saturday, 24 January 2009 at the Rochester Public Library on Main Street. The festivities will begin at 10 am and last till 12 noon. The actual date of the Lunar New Year falls on Monday, 26 January 2008.
In the Chinese Zodiac, the Ox is the second of twelve animals believed to represent the Chinese astrological signs. The representative animal this year is the Ox or Water Buffalo endowing those born in this year as persons who will gain prosperity through fortitude and hard work. As the Ox is large and strong in stature, so those who are born in a year of the Ox, stable, persevering, tolerant, and worthy to be called persons of strong character.
In support of this event, several Rochester businesses, Seasoned Books and The Rochester Café on Main Street, and Huntington House Inn on the Park, will be introducing Asian food fare in their menus!
Notably, President Barack Obama was born in the year of the Ox as was another world leader, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Come find out who else was born an “Ox”!
Activities planned for the event are storytelling, an opportunity to read books about Chinese culture, games, fortune telling, children’s crafts, and a discussion of traditional foods and family celebration.
