Some very diverse and wonderful offerings from Ragged Hill this year, also at Headwater’s cider tent. I think we bought more bottles from Ragged Hill than anyone else simply because each was a delight in its own way

The LGBTQ+ community is facing horrific and bigoted attacks in state legislatures all across our country. It's past time we pass the Equality Act and make clear that LGBTQ+ rights are human rights and we won't let hate win.

“You can use the N95 mask you bought for the pandemic to filter out the wildfire smoke engulfing the entire Northeast” is a neat little sentence that lets you know we’re in the fun part of the century that future historians are going to talk about a lot.
