WEST BRATTLEBORO — The West Brattleboro Association has celebrated another successful barbecue. To raise funds for programs that help our neighbors and our neighborhood, we sold 216 half chickens over Columbus Day weekend.

We could not have done it without the support of our generous members and sponsors.

Most of all, we thank the community members who came and enjoyed the food on this beautiful day. Our happy customers and the picture-perfect setting remind us how lucky we are every year.
