More Historic Streetlights Coming

The Better Middlebury Partnership secured another grant to help Middlebury make its next installation of historic streetlights.  This installation will extend the fixtures from the Cross Street Bridge (currently under construction) to and around the Main Street Rotary that will be built in 2010.

The Middlebury Winter Carnival and Chili Contest is set for February 27, 2010, from 2-4 PM.  The event was voted one of the ten best winter events by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce after its debut in 2009.   A major attraction is the community-wide professional and amateur chili contest on the sidewalks of the historic downtown.

Popular vote determines the contest winners in a variety of categories.
