Countdown to Spring

Around Town with Dick Patten
For OurConcord

I can't believe that football is finally going to finished for the year. Now baseball training begins this week for some teams and it's countdown to Spring. I hope everyone is planning to do their Valentine shopping this week. Don't forget your Valentine's.

The Concord City Council will be meeting Monday at 7 p.m.at the city council chambers. The meeting is open to the public.

The Kiwanis Club of Concord will be meeting tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. at the Red Blazer Restaurant, Manchester Street.

The Dog Park, located at the corner of Manchester Street and Old Turnpike Road is still in need of a club to assist them or start a new group. I need to meet with a representative of the General Services Department regarding the fence.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to fellow City Councilor Stephen Shurtleff about his brother passing away.

Are you seeing some unusually bad frost heaves. Due to warmer weather we are seeing frost heaves early and pot holes. Please call the General Services Department regarding these.
