The weather cooperated and over 40 community volunteers gathered for the spring Stony Hill Village Community Serve Day on Saturday, April 18. Even a black bear was curious to see the tractor, wood chipper, 20-foot dumpster and two large trucks for hauling away brush that were instrumental in our accomplishing so much.
The next Stony Hill Community Serve Day will be Saturday, May 18, 9 a.m. to noon. This is a reschedule as the Granby Police Department cautioned that a closure of Salmon Brook Street for another activity would impact volunteers.
