Diane Johnson writes: Last weekend was perfect weather to be outside for the Sandwich Fair. There certainly were a lot of people in Sandwich enjoying all the Fair had to offer. It did seem like a pretty normal Fair despite the on-going pandemic. Many departments in the exhibit halls had less entries than in the past; but for the most part department chairs and committees were able to fill out the displays. I know that a lot of regular exhibitors and townsfolk stayed away from the Fair due to Covid concerns. Those who came had fun.

Living as close to the Fairgrounds as I do, I find that the weekend just zips by and suddenly it is Monday evening and the Fair is over. The rides, games, exhibits, food trucks, animals and more make a mass exodus on  Monday evening and night. By mid-week, it will be hard to notice that the Fair even happened.   

​Fall foliage color should be at or near peak this later this week. The forecast is for sun and days in the upper 50's and 60's. Soon there will be more of a chill in the air and Halloween, holiday, and winter preparations will begin in earnest. Enjoy the quiet, calm, days.

Masks are No Longer Mandatory at the Transfer Station
Per the CDC guidelines, the Selectmen are lifting the mask mandate at the Transfer Station since it is an outdoor facility.  Masks will be optional at that facility.  Reminder:  please use the correct entrance to carry your bags to the containers and exit out the other.  The areas are well-marked for the proper pedestrian traffic flow. 

Transfer Station Hours
The Selectmen voted to extend the hours at the Sandwich Transfer Station on Sundays.  The hours on Sundays will now be 8am-4pm - at least through Columbus Day. Hours are Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm. Please arrive at the Transfer Station at least 15 minutes before closing to allow for unloading and closure for the day. Kevin and John appreciate being able to close on time.
