Greetings!
Everyone must be gardening, mowing, spring cleaning, or just out enjoying the wonderful season of Spring in Nelson. It's been awfully quiet around town lately.
So we'll take these few minutes to invite you to the Second Saturday Contra Dance and then to come and listen to April Verch in concert on Sunday - both taking place at the Town Hall.
And, we'll let you know about two community opportunities brought to us by the Nelson Elementary School.
May IS a most beautiful month, is it not?
