Greetings from Colebrook Town Hall.

The Colebrook Pond will open for the season this Saturday. Lifeguards will be on duty on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. The gates will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with no lifeguard on duty.
Tax bills will be mailed next week. Taxes are due July 1st, and are considered late if not paid by Monday, August 3rd (with the Tax Collector’s office open 9 a.m.-1 p.m. that day) and will be subject to interest from the due date. During July, the Tax Collector’s office will be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 9 am-noon. For any questions, please contact Laura Bartlett at 860.379.3359, ext. 204, or at lbartlett@colebrooktownhall.org<mailto:lbartlett@colebrooktownhall.org>.
With the new fiscal year approaching, the town is planning for capital investments that were approved during May. Notably, we are in the process of ordering a new Community & Senior Center bus, replacing our 14-year-old model. Delivery is expected in the fall. In July, our Public Works team will take delivery of a new mini-excavator. Plans are also underway to install a new heating system at the Center Firehouse and a new phone system at Colebrook Consolidated School.
During June, all dogs over the age of six months are required by Connecticut law to be licensed. Dog license renewal is available online via the town website (www.townofcolebrook.org/town-clerk/<(www.townofcolebrook.org/town-clerk/>). In-person licensing is available at the Town Clerk’s office during regular business hours. To renew by mail, please include a check and a self-addressed, stamped, return envelope. Please make checks payable to the “Colebrook Town Clerk.” Please contact the Town Clerk’s office (860) 379-3359, extension 203, with any questions. See details on the attached flyer.

Next week, the Community & Senior Center is hosting “Learn to Play Chess with Cal.” Free lessons (any age or level) are available next Thursday, June 25th, at 10 a.m. Chess boards provided.
Last week, a Colebrook tradition continued as our third grade class took their lessons at the Rock School<www.colebrookhistoricalsociety.org/rock-school-history/> located at the intersection of Colebrook Road and Sandy Brook Road. The building was erected during the summer of 1779 and remained in use from that date until it closed in 1911. The Rock School, owned by the Colebrook Historical Society, is believed to be the only colonial era school in Connecticut that has not been modernized in any way. As a bookend to last week’s day at the Rock School, yesterday our third graders toured the Seymour Inn and viewed the many historical items on display there, including this year’s exhibit that salutes Colebrook veterans.
Planning is underway for the 81st Colebrook Labor Day Fair, to be held on Saturday, September 5th. Volunteers are needed. If you are interested in volunteering-or participating as vendor-please contact Karen at kodell@colebrooktownhall.org<mailto:kodell@colebrooktownhall.org>. This week, Paul Kamin, who runs the Cardboard Boat Regatta, made a presentation during an assembly at Colebrook Consolidated School encouraging students to build a boat and join the fun.
