The October Issue

Grain Festival and Odyssey Day coming to Monterey

Fresh bread, butterflies, and the kindness of neighbors: October’s Monterey News is here! Get a taste of the upcoming Monterey Grain Festival, follow two monarchs as they prepare for an extraordinary journey, and discover how a late-night emergency call became a story of community and cookies.

Inside, you’ll also find Odyssey celebrations at the library, fall gatherings, poetry, art, and a lively review of Big Swiss, set in nearby Hudson. Plus, catch up on short-term rentals, the Community Preservation Act, and the Lake Garfield drawdown

For 55-plus years, the Monterey News has been available for free to those who live in and visit our beautiful town. In recent years, we have experienced price increases across the board for not just printing, but also software, and now website hosting. If you are able to give even a small gift to keep us moving forward, we thank you (old-fashioned snail mail to Monterey News, PO Box 9, Monterey, MA 01245, is appreciated).  

Thank you for reading, and for all of your submissions. Be well.
