Around The Region
While out and about over the holiday weekend, we came upon this sight in front of Raymond Maguire ' s place – a homemade Santa Claus and a Christmas tree, both made by Raymond. It is always fun to watch what this craftsman has out for all to see. He amazes all with his creations. If you are out on Rte. 108 between Cookshire and Lennoxville, Que., keep your eyes open for this sight. Corey Bellam photo.

WINTER DOE CAMP
Vermont Outdoors Woman has begun accepting deposits for its Annual Winter Doe Camp to be held at the Hulbert Outdoor Center in Fairlee, Vt. on March 3-5, 2017. Winter Doe Camp is a women ' s weekend retreat for outdoor skill development, adventure, education and just plain fun.
Participants will make new friends while staying with like minded women in heated cabins and play in the outdoors all day. Spend the weekend learning winter outdoor skills while staying near the shores of Lake Morey. Delicious, hearty and well balanced meals are served buffet style in Hulbert ' s sunny dining hall.
Beginning with an optional dog sledding class on Friday morning, campers can select their own classes in four sessions starting on Friday afternoon and ending at noon on Sunday. Thanks to an incredible lineup of volunteer outdoor educators, organizers are offering nearly 40 educational classes. Recreation activities include: winter camping, basket weaving, handgun, muzzleloader and rifle classes, ice fishing, Nordic skating, snowshoeing, survival skills, archery, forest management, ax skills, campfire cooking, wildlife photography, deer and spring turkey hunting, tracking, backpacking and more. Classes fill up quickly so sign up soon.
There will be spare time for socializing by the fireplace and thanks to many generous sponsors, we will be holding our popular raffle on Sunday after lunch.
The minimum age is 15 and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Cost for the all-inclusive weekend program is $ 390. Mother / daughter discounts, group discounts for three or more and day rates are available.
