After a one-year hiatus, our Barre Heritage Festival Downtown 5K has morphed into the Barre Heritage Festival 5K Trail Race at Millstone Touring Center in Barre Town.

It promises to be a fun and scenic trail starting at the Millstone Store on Church Hill Road, Barre Town (across from the post office) running down to Little John Road and on to trails, running by many quarries and historic granite piles. Plus, post-race yoga will be provided by Katy Leadbetter of Fusion Studio and free massages by Kari Powers, Certified Massage Therapists.

 CVR Honors Nancy Rice with the '09 Spirit of the Club Award

On Jan. 21, 2010 CVR awarded Nancy Rice the 2009 annual Spirit of the Club Award. (Past winners include Priscilla Carr, Dave Kissner, Norm Robinson, Tim Noonan, Darragh Ellerson, and Donna Smyers.) Below, see remarks from club president Andrea McLaughlin when she presented the award to Nancy.

"At the annual volunteer dinner, Nancy Rice was awarded the 2009 CVR Spirit of the Club Award. For the last 6 years, CVR has presented the award to a volunteer who over the years, has been especially generous and effective in their volunteer efforts for the club. Nancy stepped up to produce the CVR newsletter in 2005. She increased the newsletter frequency from 4 to 5 times per year and has produced over 20 newsletters in her tenure. Nancy also took on co-directing the Berlin Pond race the last 2 years and has been a frequent volunteer at other races. Nancy has recently retired from work and has announced that she will need to give up the newsletter as she moves on and possibly out of the area. CVR thanks her for her service as she will be difficult to replace."
