🗳️ REMINDER: ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3!

All registered voters in Craftsbury were mailed a ballot on October 1. If you have not already returned your ballot (by mail, drop box, or in person), please remember to bring your completed ballot and both envelopes with you on Election Day!

📝 A Few Important Reminders When Voting:

*Use a black pen to mark your ballot.

**There are additional ballot questions on the back! Be sure to turn your ballot over and complete both sides.

Two ballot questions allow you to vote for more than one person. Please pay attention to the instructions for those questions.

Returning Your Ballot Before Election Day?

*Place your completed ballot in the Certificate Envelope.

*Be sure to sign and date the Certificate Envelope.

*Place the Certificate Envelope inside the outer mailing envelope.

*Return it by placing it in the Town's outside ballot drop box.

Please do not mail your ballot at this time. We may not receive it in time for the election.

On Election Day, you can bring your ballot and signed certificate envelope inside and hand it in or place it in the outside ballot drop box if you prefer.

If you do not bring your mailed ballot and envelopes with you on Election Day, you will need to sign an affidavit in order to vote.

We will have a limited number of ballots available at the polls, since ballots were mailed to all registered voters in Vermont so please bring your ballot with you!

Don't forget- Trunk or Treat on the Common tonight!

10/18/2026

This Sunday 11:30 October 18th at the church on the common is a Wellness Walk put on by the Craftsbury Mental Health Resource Group.

Our community has had some devastating losses to su***de recently. We are desperately trying to heal. There are folks in our midst who struggle with serious depression. Your friends. Your neighbors. Family.

This walk is an opportunity to come together for a few reasons:
-to honor a friend or loved one we have lost to su***de
-to take depression and su***de out of the darkness and make it normal to talk about
-to signal to those who struggle with depression that you care and they matter
-to get support yourself for your own mental health struggles

These days we are all touched by mental health issues. These are not easy times. Come out and join in! It feels good to be in community to embrace loving your mind and mental well-being!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Craftsbury Fire Department on September 29, 2026 completed the installation of a dry hydrant at 775 Post Road, Post Road Bridge. The installation of this dry hydrant is part of a comprehensive program to improve fire protection in the rural portions of Craftsbury.
The Fire Department is in the process of improving fire protection in Craftsbury by installing dry hydrants and other Rural Fire Protection (RFP) systems to improve the availability and accessibility of water for firefighting purposes. The Vermont Rural Fire Protection Task Force through the Vermont Association of Conservation Districts (VACD) provided assistance to the Fire Department in developing a plan to improve water supply in Craftsbury.
The Vermont Legislature approved appropriations to assist communities in installing dry hydrants to improve fire protection in the rural area of Vermont. The Vermont Rural Fire Protection Task Force with the assistance of the VACD administers the grant program.
Dry hydrants and other RFP systems are a preferred method of providing water for firefighting in areas where there are no water mains. A dry hydrant consists of a 6 to 8 inch pipe with a
fitting to which a pump/tanker truck can attach. The pipe connects to a water source (pond or stream) that can supply at least 30,000-120,000 gallons under drought conditions.
This is but one example of the service your fire departments provides in preparation for the next
alarm.
