Area Celebrates Christmas at Ludlow Town Hall

In front of a large and enthusiastic audience, area residents enjoyed a diverse Christmas program, sponsored by FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) on Decenber 14.  In a program that featured music provided by area elementary and high school students plus other performers, the large audience enjoyed this Christmas celebration that ended with a visit from Santa Claus.  Bruce Schmidt functioned as emcee for the event. The entire program was produced and directed by Scott Stearns and Sandra Russo.

Well Project Postponed until Spring 2019

Well Project Postponed until

Spring 2019

Due to the numerous delays obtaining the permit from the state to drill the well for the Library & Community Center building, we are forced to postpone beginning the work on the well until the Spring of 2019.  After waiting so long for the permit, the weather is clearly against us and we are unable to proceed.

Currently, there is plenty of water in the holding tank and we hope that the flow we have will continue.  As you know, for the past couple of years a pipe has frozen, which cut off the flow of water into the building, causing disruptions to our system.  If this should happen again, Dave Radican and Kevin Hollebeek have generously offered to keep the tank full by pumping water through a hose from Dave's house across the street.  With any luck the pipe won't freeze this year, but if it does, we will have a normally functioning bathroom. Dave, Kevin, all of us appreciate your willingness to do this...thanks so much!

And thank you to everyone in the community for your patience and support...
