Mount Abe's Bouvier takes an unusual career path

Posted on April 20, 2017 |

BRISTOL — Margaret Owen has kept track of the things she’s heard over her 90 years on this Earth.

The Bristol resident took the time to write down some of the old sayings or superstitions that people used to use and some still are used.

1. Comb your hair in the dark, you’ll comb sorrow into your heart.

2. Clean hair out of your comb and burn it, or you could lose all your hair.

But the price of milk and the Margin Protection Program’s failure to help Vermont’s dairies wasn’t at the top of anyone’s talking points.

MIDDLEBURY — The Garden Brothers Circus came to town last week — minus two of its biggest attractions.
