Caitlin Schuman writes, “One of my favorite things about moving to this town has been this amazing community newspaper. Thank you for what you do! When our neighbor Kirsten Holmes texted us about the northern lights tonight, we jumped into the car and ran down the hill to the Verrill Fields. Here’s a picture of the lights over Verrill Farm!”
