Holiday decorations for the Access Road

Dear Editor,

Last year less than two weeks before Christmas the access road was completely bare of any decorations except for the Phat Italian. I wrote to the selectboard and my letter was printed in The Mountain Times. The trees atop West Hill Rd were bare, no lights. As for the rest of the road zero. Not one business owner made any effort to decorate their businesses for the holiday season, and for the visitors who come here to vacation and ski. "Our most important time of year."

Seth Webb has assured me that the Island atop West Hill Rd will be lighted for Thanksgiving. But what about the rest of the road? The light poles along the sidewalk all should have garlands and lights on them. There should be Xmas trees dotting the road, and whatever else. You know what they say, "scared money, makes no money." You business owner's, and the Chamber, show us what you've got.

Let's improve upon last year.
