Did you miss VT/NH Night this year?  Here's what happened:

 

Grange Olympics – NH vs. VT

 

NH Grangers matched their numbers against VT Grangers at the Legion Hall in White River Junction on May 5th at the annual VT/NH Night event. VT State Grange Program Director Lester Gibbs welcomed everyone to the celebration and friendly competition between the neighboring states. Following a meal, Vermont State Grange President Clyde Berry from Hartford, VT, and NH State Grange President Beth Merrill from Antrim, NH, introduced leaders from the two states. NH Program Director Marie Hall then introduced a lively series of humorous floor games with participants from NH, VT, and “Newmont” competing for the gold, silver, and bronze medals. At the end of the evening, results were mixed, but VT took home the attendance banner with a strong majority of the more than 100 participants in their court. All in all, however, it was a successful evening of neighborly sociability, good food, and entertainment, proving once again that the nearly 140 year old rural community service organization continues to be where the whole family can go and grow.
