BRATTLEBORO â The Brattleboro Outing Club will host three paddle trips during April, including two coming up this weekend. The trips are free and open to the public, but youâll need to bring your own canoe, kayak or standup paddle board, and related gear, including life jackets.
On Saturday and Sunday, April 24 and 25, the Hinsdale setbacks on the Connecticut River are the destinations, both days. These are identical trips, allowing everyone to make choices. Weâll meet at 9:30 a.m., in the Walmart parking lot, Route 119, Hinsdale, N.H.
The âsetbacksâ are marshes, off the main river channel, where both migrating waterfowl and local birds find peace and quiet. We paddle the center channels, so as not to bother nesting activity. This area is listed as site No. 40, on the Connecticut River Birding Trail, Southern Section. Twenty-eight species of waterfowl have been identified here in the setbacks. Unfortuna

BRATTLEBORO â Harris Hill Ski Jump, touted as an annual boon to the local economy, isnât happening this year and the impact will be felt throughout the business community.
âMy sense is that the restaurants will probably feel it more than anyone else does,â said Greg Lesch, interim executive director at the Brattleboro Area Chamber of Commerce. âPeople bring food up to the hill or have food afterwards.â
The Brattleboro Food Co-op tends to see record sales for sandwiches and heavy foot traffic in the deli, said Jon Megas-Russell, marketing and community relations manager.
