Snake Mountain Bluegrass Band to play benefit concert for Halifax Community Hall

Wednesday, September 11, 2013 — Issue 220

HALIFAX — The Snake Mountain Bluegrass Band is trekking down from Addison County to perform at the Halifax Community Hall, 20 Brook Rd. in West Halifax Village.

The band last played here to a full house in October 2012, helping raise funds for a new roof for the historic 1844 building. Catch them here again on Sunday, Sept. 15, from 2 to 4 p.m., and help preserve the hall for future generations.

Three young women from Addison County - the talented Connor Sisters - join the band for a special performance delivering gospel-style and country/bluegrass classics.

Is this the 'big tent'?

By

Wednesday, October 21, 2020 — Issue 584

As someone who has held public office as both a Democrat and Republican, I read Erica Walch's Viewpoint with interest. She mentions briefly that many Republicans, including herself and Gov.
