CORNWALL — When 9-year-old Sarah Holmes did some research on Africa earlier this year, she was astonished with some of the things she read.

MIDDLEBURY — The 2013 Middlebury Arts Walk season continues with this summer’s second event taking place on Friday, June 14. This month will feature nearly 30 hosting venues displaying a diverse array of art — the majority of which has been created by Addison County residents. In addition to the Arts Walk, this may be one of the last opportunities to see and play any of the six vibrantly painted pianos around town, which celebrate Town Hall Theater’s fifth anniversary.
MIDDLEBURY — “It seems like we opened just yesterday,” says Town Hall Theater executive director Douglas Anderson. “It’s come as a shock to all of us that we’ve been at this for 5 years. I guess time passes when you’re having fun.”
