Bennington better hope there’s enough rhubarb pie to go around as the town may celebrate its 175th anniversary along with the annual festival next year.
Recreation Director Bethany Craig broached the idea to the Select Board at its Wednesday meeting. Craig said she was looking to partner with the rhubarb festival next June for the celebration.
“I think it would be great to combine the two events to have a weekendlong event,” said Craig. “The more we could do at different places around town, the better.”
The board also dealt with a dispute with Stephen Stockwell, who owns property on the class VI portion of Mountain Road.
