BANJO DAZE — On Tuesday, July 27, 7 p.m. Rutland County will welcome Banjo Dan and the Midnight Plowboys to the Castelton Green for a special free, outdoor concert.

For three decades, Banjo Dan and crew have represented the soul of bluegrass in Vermont.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com CLARENDON — America’s small towns are the backbone of freedom and this month, the Town of Clarendon will show its true colors—red, white and blue. The Clarendon community will gather at the Clarendon Elementary School on Saturday, July 31, for a special evening-long special salute to U.S. troops in harm’s way. The event starts with a community dinner at 6 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. The salute, an opportunity for all residents to thank local armed forces members and others, will include a familystyle barbeque, 5-6:30 p.m., which sports a lip-smacking menu of ribs, pulled pork, chicken, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, cole slaw with pineapple, potato salad, watermelon, lemonade, iced tea, and lots’mores. Special games and activities will be held 6-8 p.m.and include carnival games, a dunking booth, team ball games, face painting, bubbles, laughter yoga, and more. Attendees will be asked to help make a tile American flag for the school’s Clarendon Community Peace Garden. The actual salute to the troops special program starts at 8-9 p.m. with Christina Skeleros and the CES students singing. The students will screen their “Box of Kisses” for the troops video production at dusk.

$30,000 Powerball winner in Fair Haven By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com FAIR HAVEN — Vermont had a Powerball winner from the July 14 drawing. The lucky anonymous player purchased the $30,000 winning ticket at Stewart’s in Fair Haven. The winning ticket matched four numbers plus the Powerball number. And because the player selected the Power Play option, it multiplied their winnings from $10,000 to $30,000. Vermont lottery games are sold at almost 700 locations throughout the state. For information on lottery games and on-line game draw results, please visit www.vtlottery.com. All profits from Vermont Lottery are used to support the Vermont Education Fund. Lottery officials encourage everyone to play responsibly.
