Central Vermont Runners Enjoy Virtual Fallen Leaves Series

Central Vermont Runners’ Club Fallen Leaves 5K races have been a local favorite in November for more than a decade. After a successful summer of virtual races — which means that racers run the course individually, time themselves, and post their results electronically — setting up a virtual Fallen Leaves series has gone smoothly. The first of the three Saturday events was run at the participants’ discretion November 1–7. The second event was run November 8–14. And the final in the series will be open November 15–21.

Dreams Becoming Reality

One night in October, Calais resident Rick Winston says he had a dream that featured five bears, an unusual type of dream for him. The next afternoon — on a beautiful fall day — he and his wife Andrea Serota spotted five bears frolicking behind their house. After he posted photos of the bears along with his dream story on his Facebook page, friends began asking if he had had any dreams about the upcoming election, but Winston reported he had no foreknowledge of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Winston and Serota owned and operated the Savoy Theater in Montpelier for many years.
