In the July Issue
Rob Hoogs hosts the town reading of the Declaration of Independence
The July issue of the Monterey News is here, and it's filled with stories that celebrate our town, our history, and the people who make Monterey such a special place.
Inside this month's issue, you'll find:
A special photo essay on Monterey's community reading of the Declaration of Independence as residents of all ages came together to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.
A look at how Massachusetts wrote (and debated) its first state constitution.
Updates from town, including coverage of the Southern Berkshire Regional School District budget vote, housing initiatives, and local traffic safety efforts.
Stories from around Monterey, including chestnut restoration, wildlife sightings, and the important role milkweed plays in supporting pollinators.
Summer events, historical programs, library happenings, Bidwell House Museum news, and plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors throughout the season.
As always, thank you to our writers, photographers, advertisers, volunteers, and readers for making this community newspaper possible.
And a special thank you to Nadia Makuc, summer assistant editor!
We hope you enjoy the issue.
Happy reading!
