WILMINGTON â Organizers had to postpone Old Home Week last year due to COVID-19 but theyâre planning for the community and visitors to be out celebrating in full force next month.
âIt really is an amazing event and weâre lucky itâs only every 10 or 11 years because thereâs no way we could do this every year,â said Nicki Steel, chairwoman of the Old Home Week Committee. âWe need it. People are so looking forward to reconnecting â thatâs what Old Home Week is anyway but especially this time. It is about reconnections and families getting together and meeting new people. Thatâs what itâs always been about but itâs going to be special this time.â

As towns transition back to live meetings, theyâre also trying to hold on to the benefits of those held virtually.
The Brattleboro Select Board returned to in-person meetings Tuesday, having its first âhybrid meeting.â A screen set up next to the boardâs table at the Municipal Center allowed participation via Zoom, the teleconferencing software used by the town during the COVID-19 to meet remotely.
Only one person tuning in via Zoom addressed the board â Dan Tyler, assistant director of public works, received approval to purchase two replacement vehicles for the Brattleboro Department of Public Works Utilities Division.
