Thanks to the Bennington Banner and Danielle Crosier for covering this great event about the racetrack that the library hosted at the beginning of May! We'd like to thank Damien McCaffery from the Bennington Museum for organizing the event, and to CAT-TV for filming it. This is an important and very interesting piece of Pownal history.
