Thanksgiving is here and the holiday season is upon us. As you fill your calendar with seasonal activities, please make time to attend the mayoral candidate forum on December 3rd. This is a good opportunity to meet the candidates and share your thoughts/concerns with them. Meanwhile, we wish for you a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels (if travelling). As always, please visit the Town's website for additional news and events.
