Stop by between 8 and 11 a.m. to pick up bags and gloves and get your road assignment. From 11 a.m.-1 p.m. bring your filled bags back to the fire house and receive one raffle ticket per bag dropped off.
Enjoy a nice picnic lunch as our way of saying thank you for your hard work! Try your luck at a table full of raffle items including gift certificates to local businesses, Disney Infinity Xbox 360 Starter Packs and much more. There is also a Kids Only Raffle, where kids who have participated in roadside cleanup will get one entry for a chance at winning a Razor A Kick Scooter.

FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE: We have only licensed about half the usual number of dogs this year. Maybe you forgot? Stop by the office to register your dog as soon as possible.

The Vermont State Treasurer’s Office sent a list of people in Lincoln who have some unclaimed money waiting for them. Stop in the office to see if a little bonus money is waiting for you.
