Around Brimfield: Brimfest is coming up and the new town hall is finally complete

- Shirley Mars

A few years back, I saw a comic strip that made me laugh out loud. It showed a person sneaking in the dark of the night to leave zucchini on his neighbor’s porch. The neighbor suddenly opens his door, rifle in hand, demanding that the man step away from his porch, take his zucchini and move on. If you have considered doing this with your excess garden produce, there is a better solution.

Our friends at the Brimfield Bread Oven have once again put their red “Sharing Cart” outside the front door, and it is waiting to be filled. The cart will remain there throughout the harvest season, and anyone is welcome to leave produce or take produce. Thanks to all those who generously share part of their garden bounty and to Jud and Gen Smith for hosting the Sharing Cart.
