Sandra Swagler, of Dennisville,
and Harriett Reardon Bailey, of Ocean View, are shown at the
Bridge of Flowers, in Shelburne Falls, Vermont. The original
1908 trolley bridge, which is on the Mohawk Trail, was turned
into a garden after it was abandoned in 1928 with over 500
annuals and perennials growing there. They took the Gazette with
them on their 11-day trip to New England.

Fun at the farm
Kirsten, 14, left, and
Shelby Wessner, 9, of Egg Harbor Township took their
favorite editions of The Current with them to Vermont, where
they visited Peckham’s Farm in Pownal, located near the
border of New York and Massachusetts. The 100-acre farm just
off Route 7 – a former dairy operation and now a garden
market – has been in the same family for about 200 years.
The girls are the daughters of Jody and Bob Wessner.
