.
For years the North School Preservation Society has worked to save the old grade school in North Springfield and the 5 acres of public recreation land associated with it from being sold off for private development. The efforts have finally come to fruition, and the big moment came this week on Tuesday when the Springfield School District transfered full legal ownership of the property to the North School Preservation Society, nsps.awardspace.us, at 10:00 a.m. in the law offices of Brady and Callahan, in beautiful downtown Springfield, Vermont.

There was quite a festive atmosphere at this happy event, many flash bulbs were sacrificed, and a bottle of champagne was nearly popped!

Here is the video, shot and edited by Edward Huse - http://youtu.be/CKtUpliMs5U

The event has opened a new phase for the North School Preservation Society, and they will need all the help they can get to spiff up and maintain the good old North School and the expansive grounds, and interested parties are urged to visit the website, nsps.awardspace.us, or to write an email to Ed Fransen, ed44vt@gmail.com.

Springfield Vermont's Black River after Irene

Springfield Vermont's Black River after Irene is a force to be contended with.

This is just video of the flood waters rushing past the Fellows Gear Shaper building on River Street in Springfield Vermont, with some brief shots of the remains of an old friend, the bridge that was recently replaced there. The water stayed high for a very long time, in fact it seemed higher the day after this was filmed.

Springfield Vermont bids farewell to Irene.

A quiet five minutes, rivers rushing brown and frothy but otherwise no Irene chaos except where the tail wags, just river views and a baby Snapping Turtle - una tortuga perdida, vistas de los rios locales, pero poco se nota que ha pasado un hurracan.

Springfield Vermont is High and Dry after Irene passes by (but barely) - but our neighbors suffer the wrath of the storm

The damage is done. Here are three videos by videographer youtube.com/warlegacies, showing a sad moment in local history, the destruction by Irene of the now sadly missed Bartonsville Covered Bridge.

Here the river surges, threatening the old wooden covered bridge


Here the river quickly tears out the covered bridge


the river runs on, driven by Irene

Springfield Vermont Has a New Old Fashioned Box Cantilever Bridge - Fancy News

Springfield Vermont has a brand spankin' new, old-fashioned box cantilever bridge in the works. Fancy News indeed, and a pleasure to watch the able crew briskly put together the huge set of elements that is enough to make any grown child regard with a bittersweet envy the delicious fun of assembling the shiny, zinc-dipped construction. One worker took a moment to describe succinctly the meaning behind all the activity, what with the electric lines being played with and the sudden appearance of a giant Tinker Toy set - this is available on the video, please see it here, and for a feel of the part that that original bridge played in the local context, see this too.

La novedad de un puente nuevo, hecho a mano y que no sea "a lo barato", es algo increible de observar, y vale comentar. Este puente, el antiguo, ha sido ya el tema de un video (aqui) que se trata de la parte que tiene en la vida local.
Hoy han parado los trabajadores para explicar en breve el cambio que efectuan, que consiste de quitar el puente antiguo y colocar con una grua el nuevo puente que fabrican en su lugar, un puente muy semejante, y muy agradable a la vista por eso - se ve aqui.

Springfield Vermont holds it's annual SHS Alumni Day Parade

Today, Springfield Vermont held it's annual SHS Alumni Day Parade - it went off without a hitch (except for the fact that it was late). Nature blessed the day with beautiful weather, and all had a great time (especially the clowns!). Bongo the Goat was in attendance, as well as every other character you might expect to see.

Anyone caring to share an image of the parade is invited to submit it through the facebook page for this site, and if it passes muster and doesn't need too much editing, we will include it here for your friends away from home to see and enjoy.

Stay tuned, a short video with views of the parade will appear here shortly, and another of the parade aftermath will appear shortly after that, both shot and edited by Edward Huse, for SpringfieldVermont.org

Fancy News - Springfield Vermont tests Fire Department's new "dry hydrant" system, on the beautiful Downtown Riverfront of Springfield, Vermont.

Everything is popping in Springfield, Vermont. Today traffic was backed up in historic proportions, due to all the progress - heavy machines are producing changes beneath the pavement surrounding the Movie Theater as it approaches it's Grand Opening date, and Springfield's other finest, the Springfield Fire Department, was busy testing the new addition to the fire suppression system, a dry hydrant, serving Downtown and the developments at 100 River Street.

Springfield's Fire Chief, Russ Thompson, was on hand to give a brief explanation of the dry hydrant component of our fair town's fire suppression system, as recorded for you here -

This should definitively put to rest the rumors - rumors that erupted "like mushrooms in the far meadow after a moon-lit night" after the Black River was diverted one day late last Summer (supposedly to relocate the lost riverwalk access to the legendary long lost cheese caverns of Springfield, Vermont, where a particularly fine Cheddar was said to be produced long ago, long before the trade was outsourced) - rumors to the effect that a "siphoning wash" was necessary to clear the subterranean passages of the still operable cheese caverns, and so allow the secretly resurrected cheese makers guild to resume their historic duties, which all know to be to produce the best Cheddar, along with a marvelous Stilton, and a surprisingly naughty Parmesiano for grating.

Beer tastings in Springfield Vermont, at Joe's Wines and Spirits

What is more productive and wholesome than a forty five minute trip through a beer tasting on a bright but blustery Spring day in Springfield, Vermont? Joe and the other folks at Joe's Wine & Spirits host such an informative event at least once or twice a month, even when it isn't snowing - one always walks away fortified with new information, and at least one new beer to try, (McNeil's was today's favorite, hmm). With over one hundred breweries, who says there's no fun in Vermont?



The Northshire Brewery offering, Equinox Pilsner, was a pale and truly flowery splash of freshness at the start, followed by that large plain open area encountered in delicate beers, closing with a contrast that did nothing to erase the opening encounter with Violets.



There was a mid-grade amber offering as well, a Brown Lager from Trapp Brewery in Stowe, Vermont - beautiful to regard with it's dark auburn light, but deceptively light in flavor and with almost no bight to reveal an alcohol content, and with almost no effervescence to speak of. It was a pleasant and refreshing beverage to be sure, but would easily pass as a wheat-based health drink to uproarious effect.

The winner among the gathered observers was the Black Belgian Stout, Growlers, with hearty mein and beefy toast and a friendly 7.5% content.

A good time was had by all. Contact Joe's Wine & Spirits directly for upcoming events.
