Cabin Fever Winter Festival a Success!

NashobaValley's first annual #CabinFeverWinterFestival, a fun-for-all-ages outdoor event, took place on Saturday, February 1 from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. on #BoltonTownCommon. Hosted by the #RotaryClub of #NashobaValley, our Cabin Fever Winter Festival was enjoyed by attendees, young and old, despite the lack of snow. Congratulations to The Fireplace Room at the International Golf Club and Resort in Bolton for winning the chili challenge! It was a tough decision, as all participants provided tasty samples. Congratulations also go to The Bolton Library for their winning snowman. This, too, was a difficult decision, as all of the participants had creative entries! In addition to the fun and revelry, all net proceeds will benefit the #Nashoba towns of #Bolton, #Lancaster and #Stow.

Bolton Repair Cafe: January 11

The Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley, with support from Bolton Local and the Repair Cafe Foundation, hosted the Bolton Repair Café on Saturday, January 11, with a record number of 74 guests, 32 volunteers who repaired broken items for free, and more than 100 items to be repaired. We rang our bell, which gets rung when an item is fixed, many times. Click here, to view the event photos.

At a Repair Café, everything centers on making repairs. Knowledgeable volunteer help repair items such as clean and mendable clothing, knitted and crocheted items, lamps, small appliances, computers and other electronics, bikes, toys, and jewelry. They can also sharpen knives, scissors, and garden tools. You pay only for needed parts. If you know what parts are needed, please get them ahead of time and bring them to the Repair Café, to save time. The fix is free!
