General Manager for MetraPark Bill Dutcher said masks are encouraged, but not required. There s nothing like getting back into the events, Dutcher said.Â
Dutcher said the Home Improvement Show last year was the last regular event before the pandemic caused events to be cancelled or downsized.
One of those downsized events last year was MontanaFair. Dutcher said the 2020 MontanaFair was about one third of what it normally is. He said the 2021 MontanaFair will be back to full size. Yesterday, we had a staff fair meeting, he said. And, a couple of commissioners were in there. Man, are we looking forward to a full fair in August of this year. A full, nine-day, fun  fair.

As COVID relief efforts continue to disproportionally impact college students –specifically adult dependents – more and more students are facing food and housing insecurity.
Roughly 39% of college students reported food insecurity this past year, according to an annual survey conducted across 227 collegiate schools by Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice at Temple University.
Vermont has implemented measures to address those facing food insecurity as a result of the pandemic and students are no exception.
“Everyone Eats” is a food-relief program that partners with local restaurants and farms to make individually packaged, cold, prepared dinners for anyone suffering adverse effects from the COVID pandemic.
Vermont State Colleges Trustees approve consolidation, campuses to stay open
The Vermont State College System Board of Trustees have voted to move forward with the proposal outlined by the state’s Select Committee on the Future of Public Higher Education in Vermont. The proposal will unify the three residential colleges, Castleton University, Northern Vermont University, and Vermont Technical College, under a common accreditation in Academic Year 2023-2024 while maintaining the Community College of Vermont as a separate institution. Additionally, the system will streamline services across the institutions through significant administrative consolidation. The board said it is committed to maintaining the current campus locations. A single president of the consolidated colleges would take over by January 2022.
