After years of planning and building, the Northern Rail Trail and Mascoma River Greenway are officially connected! On one of the nicest weather days this summer, the Mayor and other local dignities officiated the Grand Opening of the renovated bike tunnel and the Lebanon High School sports teams bashed through a big banner to the strains of “The William Tell Overture” (1600). Everyone was in good spirits after this momentous occasion in the Upper Valley. Mollie and I explored the grounds, voted for the best mural proposal (for future tunnel decoration) and got some free stuff from the booths that were scattered around nearby. We then celebrated with some shopping at the Lebanon Farmers' Market (1730) - great way to spend a summer afternoon!
