Want to Shop Locally?

Sometimes you may want that perfect gift that you can’t get at the mall or box store. Somsething with character. Or perhaps you want to support local businesses right here in town. Well, a directory is now available online. The Why Wolcott website, a tool sponsored by the Wolcott Economic Development Commission has a listing of local businesses. Many of the businesses also have their own links on the website as well.

You can see the Wolcott businesses listed here so far, and there is also a link for businesses not yet listed to be added. http://www.whywolcott.com

By supporting local businesses, you keep your neighbors employed. And you may already know those involved, or can help their business thrive.

Need a Christmas Tree?

If you haven’t picked up your tree yet, you have only one week left!

There are a few places within Wolcott to pick up trees. The Lions’ Club had a small handful left Saturday afternoon. The Homewoods have opened a farmstand on Center St. and also have reasonably priced trees. Pillwillup Farm is located at 1089 Woodtick Rd. where you can cut or take pre-cut trees.

Another location is in the north end of town, although we need a more exact location.

Just outside of Wolcott, the Lemon Tree on Lakewood Rd. had a large selection of Canadian Balsams ranging from 4 feet to 9 feet in height, all of which need a loving home. Another tree stand can be find nearby on Wolcott St. in front of Midas near the intersection of Lakewood Rd.
