Columbus Day weekend is upon us. The annual holiday artisan festival will take place at the Grange Hall on Sunday.

The weekend weather was delightful. A smattering of pumpkins, mums and Halloween displays are beginning to appear around town.

Well, the last weekend of summer was delightfully warm and sunny.

September is slipping away as quick as you can say Jack Frost!

Throw a little salt over your left shoulder before reading the column for good luck. Today is the only Friday the 13th of this year.

The record book on August has closed.

Today is the start of the long holiday weekend. Labor Day is on Monday and the end of the high summer season.

The fair is but a memory, as most all of the carnival units returned to the mainland by Wednesday, and signs of fall are beginning to appear each day.

With the fair in full swing, it is hard to believe our summer season is fast becoming history.

It sure has felt like August — it's warm and crowded everywhere. Also, the activity at the Agricultural Hall is at a fever pitch preparing for the fair.
