The Easter season is an exciting time; the changing of the seasons, and the revitalizing energy it brings, is an age-old celebration. Though snow still covers the streets and the weather once again cooled off, birds are chirping and the upcoming melt grows more promising.Â
Medstead School handed out report cards before dismissal on March 29. The school was closed for Good Friday. Students started their 10-day break from school before the final haul leading to summer. Senior students were bid adieu as they left for their journey to Italy, a way to expand the horizons of the local youth.
Many local amenities such as the post office, bank and store closed, or had adjusted hours, for the Easter weekend. The village was quiet as families gathered to their respective holiday traditions.
It is already looking like an exciting spring is in store for the Village of Medstead. The Medstead Jam Session continues and has scheduled Scott Woods, a well-known fiddler, for later this spring. The Cater Lake Wildlife awards are just around the corner, slated for April 7.
During this week, a local entrepreneur, Dawn Morin, hosted a Partylite successful event at the local library. On the same evening, the first session of the local book club was held. This club will continue its meetings and people are encouraged to participate. For further details, the Medstead Library can be contacted.
While many may consider equinox to be the commencement of spring, those living in the northern climate know that spring starts on its own schedule. Soon will come the rush of gardening, farming and barbeques, though this weekend was largely focused on the celebration of Easter and the grace which spring brings to the area.
