2018 – 2019 Town Report TOWN OF RICHMOND, VERMONT 225thANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 Thank You Harriet Riggs We are honored to dedicate this 225th Annual Report to Mrs. Harriet Riggs. Harriet Wheatly Riggs has made her home in Richmond since 1943, when she married Richmond resident Heath Riggs. Harriet served as a 4-H leader under the University of Vermont Extension Service for many years, specializing in Foods and Home Economics. She also served as a freelance correspondent for the Burlington Free Press, beginning in 1953, writing many articles about Richmond and its residents. In 1957 she was named Mrs. Vermont, based on her community service and work as President of the Richmond Parent Teacher Association. Harriet was the first female deacon of the Richmond Congregational Church. As a founding member of the Richmond Historical Society, she served as the Society’s archivist and a Round Church Guide for many years. With others, she authored the book Richmond VT, A History of More Than 200 Years and has served as Richmond Town Historian for many years. On June 4, 2019 Harriet turned 100 years old and is still active today. We thank her for her remarkable service to the Town of Richmond VT. The Making of the Richmond Town Banners The idea for the town banners originated from Lisa Curtis, owner of Sweet Simone’s and member of Western Slopes Business Association. Lisa wanted to beautify downtown Richmond with colorful pole banners and asked Radiate Art Space if we could to help ac- complish her vision. WSBA kindly offered to pay for the materials and handle the logistics of hanging the banners, and Radiate volunteers got to work brainstorming what kind of images and messaging would best represent our town. A flyer was put out at Town Meeting Day 2019 looking for submissions for ideas and inspiration. One Richmond Elementary student submitted a drawing that simply said ‘This is Richmond’ with drawing of a heart. The simple message really spoke to us, and we agreed unanimously that should be our banner slogan. Specific places and activities were also prominent in the submissions, so with that in mind, we tried to match favorite activities with recognizable favorite spots in Richmond. Once we had our list of 15 banner ideas, we got to work sketching. After a pencil sketch was finished, it was brought onto a computer and traced in color so that we could plan our palette to be cohesive across all 15 banners. The color computer files were then printed out to size (18” x 36”) and traced on a canvas. Once we had the canvases ready, we worked together to paint in the drawing with our shared paint palette. When the paintings were complete, each painting was scanned and sent to be printed on weather-proof, durable material so they can hang all year. The town banners were created by volunteers from Radiate Art Space over the course of 5 months. Each banner took about roughly 10 hours to create, totaling over 150 hours of volunteer time. We hope they bring as much joy to our community as they brought to us as we were painting them.

    Greene County Historical Society ",•·n;,e Lan~llip Van Winkle" GREENE COUNTY CVATBKILLI 1, , 1<._ichard S.1la1·1·cii-- Digitized by the Vedder Research Library 2018 Greene County Historical Society THE GREENE COUNTY CA1SKILLS N THE WEST BANK OF THE HUDSON RIVER, at distances varying from eight to ten miles back from the river, ranges of mountains extend from a point northwest of the City of Kings­ ton, northward for a distance of nearly thirty miles, and loom upward toward the skies to an elevation of three thousand feet above sea level. These ranges extend westward for more than forty miles, covering parts of Ulster and Delaware and nearly all of Greene Counties, and are best known as the Catskills, the fabled Land of Rip Van Winkle. Within the borders of the Catskills will be found nearly a hundred villages and hamlets, located at the highest elevations east of the Rocky Mountains and enjoying temperatures that average from fifteen to twenty degrees lower than that of the seaboard cit ies, so it is not surprising that the region is the most popular and the best known of the American Sum­ mer Resort Sections, with a summer patronage that is conservatively placed at a quarter of a million visitors annually. Formed, according to m.odern geologists, by drift from the lost Ap­ palachia, the atmosphere of romance that has for more than a century surrounded the section has been somewhat enhanced by late discoveries, including the oldest forests in the world, found during the excavations for the extension of the New York City Water Supply, and the re-location of the Indian Flint Mines last year at Coxsackie.
