Barre’s Tea, Firefighters, and Pool Nights

Barre’s buzzing with drama over a local tea grower turning a city lot into a lush spot—neighbors are upset, the mayor’s sending the whole council to Hilltop Avenue to settle it. Meanwhile, volunteer firefighters are firing up their annual Father’s Day chicken BBQ this Sunday, complete with a music video and proceeds going back to the department. The municipal pool’s opening June 26th with a twist: a “dive-in movie” night featuring Finding Nemo after hours. In Montpelier, flags flew at half-mast for a week honoring William Hayden, a longtime city leader who served as chief lister, zoning admin, and city manager before joining the state Tax Department. Montpelier Alive got their own giant scissors for ribbon cuttings, and Barre’s City Council meets Monday at 6 p.m. at the Mutuo to discuss a master plan for the north end.
