Hoping the worst of winter is behind them, the Peter's Rock Association make plans for a busy and production season ahead
Monday’s Peter’s Rock Association meeting was almost celebratory. Many of the members had not seen one another since the new year had begun, and greeted one another warmly as they filed into the room.

Member Theresa Zullo Marino pointed out that there were still enormous mounds of snow piled up at the main entrance to Peter’s Rock, so even though the lot itself looked clear, you still couldn’t get in. Fletcher said he hoped there wouldn’t be any more snow, especially by the time of the next work day event. Members wholeheartedly …

After a filling Thanksgiving meal, what better way to work off the calories than with a beautiful walk outdoors?
Yep. You said you weren't going to let it happen. But here we go again. First there was the 20 pound turkey with all the trimmings. You had to have second helpings of just about everything on the table—not to mention Aunt Dottie's insanely delicious apple pie, and your mom's famous pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Of course you're stuffed. After letting the belt out a notch or two, don't be too quick to fall into your dad's Lazy-Boy and turn comatose. Instead, walk it off. There's plenty of places to stretch your legs around town, whether you go for a simple stroll or go all-out and hike. Need one more incentive? Consider the thousands of calories in your Thanksgiving dinner—even without dessert! Better start walking! One of the most …
