Greetings from Colebrook Town Hall.
The annual Colebrook Holiday Fair will be held on Saturday, December 13th, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Colebrook Town Hall and the Community & Senior Center featuring a full slate of holiday vendors.
Cookies are needed for our Cookie Land shop at the Fair. They may be dropped off at the Community & Senior Center on Thursday, December 11th, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Friday, December 12th, 10 a.m. to noon, and Saturday, December 13th, before 8:30 a.m.
You can also support the Fair by donating items for the Children’s Shopping Table in the collection bins in Town Hall, the Community & Senior Center and the Post Office.
During the Fair, Breakfast with Santa will take place from 9-11 a.m. in the lower level of the Colebrook Congregational Church.
Each winter, our Public Works team strives to keep our 40 miles of Town roadways passable (with the State responsible for Routes, 8, 44, 182, 182A and 183). Following are ways you can help them be safe and efficient:
* Move all vehicles from the street. * Don’t blow or shovel snow into the street, especially after it’s been plowed. * Wait to shovel your driveway apron until after your street has been plowed. * Don’t try to pass a plow or salt truck-and maintain a safe distance behind; and when approaching a truck, please slow down and give them right-of-way. * Remember that roads are plowed by priority. And, with each of our 4 drivers responsible for a 20-mile roundtrip (60-90 minutes in duration), we’ll get to your street as quickly as possible.
The Colebrook Consolidated School (CCS) Class of 2030 is creating a 2026 12-month calendar containing original artwork from CCS Kindergarten through 6th grade students. If you’d like to support this class fundraiser with a $20 donation for a business card-sized ad, contact Mary Stauffer at Maryhubbard86@gmail.com<mailto:Maryhubbard86@gmail.com>. Deadline for ad submissions is Monday, December 8th.
The town is still accepting applications for energy assistance. Please contact Karen Odell to set up an appointment, or for any questions, at kodell@colebrooktownhall.org<mailto:kodell@colebrooktownhall.org>.
