Lots of items were discussed at the Board meeting last Wednesday
night. Speed bumps will be placed at each end of Main Street to
slow down traffic and avoid a lot of "close calls" that have been
reported. The emergency generator installation at the new shop is
on hold until an LP gas tank can be transported to Unadilla. Lots
of street repairs were discussed as well as how to pay for them. The
current list of Fire & Rescue members were certified and a copy
was given to Barry Brandt. The upcoming Village budget documents
were discussed with Melinda Clarke, CPA. The outdoor kitchen phase
of the park shelter project is on hold until the final cement pour.

Contest Fiddling Workshop
A workshop for fiddlers who want to compete in fiddle contests
on Saturday, Sept 11, from 1-3 pm, in the old Avoca Schoolhouse.
A wonderful opportunity for fiddlers of all ages to learn to
choose appropriate tunes, work with their back-up players, and
to communicate with an audience. Participants should prepare
a tune or two to play for their fellow fiddlers. Memorization is
optional. Pre-registration is required. Fee: $20 per fiddler.
