PAXTON Voters determined the victors in the Paxton town election Monday night.
Not that there were a lot of contested races; most candidates were incumbents already serving the town.
But 160 voters faithfully executed their responsibility at the polls.
In contested races for the Recreation Commission, three-year seats were won by Heather L. Larson, with 120 votes, and Christina Marie Cormier, with 89 votes; Rebecca Lynn Ross trailed with 62 votes.
The two-year Recreation Commission term was won by Diane K. McMorrow, whose 108 votes bested the 35 garnered by William D. Fields.
Other seats were won with no contest or a few write-in votes.
WEST BOYLSTON – The sign will be changing at Flagg RV at 66 West Boylston St. with the recent agreement to sell to Camping World Holdings Inc.
The sign at The Manor/Draught House at the corner of West Boylston and Franklin streets, may be changing as well, though that is still a matter under discussion between the property owners and Camping World.
And the restaurant’s owners have no plans to leave town.
Camping World is purchasing the Flagg RV property, but could be interested in expanding the site to include the restaurant and function facility property.
“I was approached by Camping World,” Manor owner Savvas Fotiadis said of the discussions.
New babies await at Davis Farmland

But at Davis Farmland, the signs of spring include babies.
With about 40 additions to the Farmland family, young goats, sheep and calves are among those preparing to welcome visitors when the Sterling farm opens for the season.
Nigerian Dwarf goats, which owner Larry Davis said were “extremely rare,” are just a couple of weeks old.
“Such cute little tiny babies,” they are hanging around their moms when they wake up so as to get their breakfast, but they are getting ready to explore more.
Some of the new additions recently moved from the winter barn to the farmland area, and had not yet been named.
