The beginning of the school year was celebrated with the fantastic and fantastical Playing Fields at Champlain Valley Union High on Sept. 7 with performances sponsored by the Flynn Theater. The afternoon of the event it looked like the weather would intrude once again, as it has so many times in the past half year. The rain was coming down and the wind was blowing down limbs, but shortly before start time things cleared up and went off as planned. As she walked through the crowd, Bonnie Birdsall, the school district’s director of digital learning and communication, said she kept hearing people say it was magical, “which is great because that’s not a word you hear very often.”

The Charlotte Covered Bridge 5K/10K and Half Marathon took place on Saturday morning, Sept. 9. Participants ran from the Shelburne Beach and back by way of Charlotte Town Beach. Organizers say it is one of the racers’ favorites with great views of the Vermont countryside and no huge hills.

Charlotte neighbors gathered at the Grange Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 12, to swap veggies and learn about fermenting and preserving their harvest. Jason Elberson from Sobremesa led the fermentation demonstration. All extra produce was distributed by the Charlotte Food Shelf.

Charlotte was beyond the hurricane’s edge on Saturday, but the meteorological disturbances did produce wind and waves at Charlotte Town Beach.
