NOTES:
Thanks to those who participated in the Milton Hall Craft Fair this weekend! We were pleased to see the lovely crafters, great volunteers, and happy shoppers and browsers. This is an important fundraiser for the hall.
The municipality also has a draft Active Transportation Plan and hopes to get feedback from residents. If you would like an electronic copy of the document, in advance of a soon-to-be-held meeting to discuss it and possible projects, please email Shari at admin@miltonvalepark.com.
Garden – There are a few things still in the garden – beets, Swiss chard, herbs… The lower half of the garden (furthest from Rte. 7) is for community use as most of the upper section has been planted for individual use. If you can help get the garden ready for winter- contact Shari at 902-368-3090 or admin@miltonvalepark.com. We are supposed to be reporting the amount of produce grown in the garden (for the funders)-so if you pick some… please keep track of the amounts and report to me!
Mosquitoes – Residents in the Crabbe Road area who have benefitted from the treatment this summer to control mosquitoes are asked to forward their $30 contribution towards the cost of the 2024 mosquito control to the Council Office.
