SUMMARY:Grand Welcoming to the Revitalized Backstreet River Park
DESCRIPTION:The Town of Stratford and The Community Builders Hub welcome the public to join in a Grand Welcoming to the revitalized Backstreet River Recreational Park\, located behind Main Street\, on May 16th from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m.  Festivities will begin at the pavilion on the town common\, next to the Stratford Public Library\, with opening announcements from Suzanne Goulet\, Town Administrator\, who will share information about the project development.  The Cohos Historical Society will provide history of the park\, and Stratford Librarian\, Tom McCorkhill\, will share about the new storywalk\, as well. \nFrom there\, guests are invited on a parade walk\, from the pavilion to the new walking path at the park across the road\, to see all the new features along the way.  Improvements completed over the past year include a resurfaced basketball court\, a brand new pickleball court that replaced the former tennis court\, a storywalk and walking path that follow the scenic Connecticut riverbank\, replacement of all playground equipment with a brand new system\, and new parking areas.  The ballfield dugouts and picnic tables were painted and stained within the last year by volunteers\, and a picnic area with signage was also spruced up\, for paddlers to enjoy a drop in spot to the river on the south end of the park.  A new ice rink was even added for winter skating within the ball field\, thanks to Lynch\, LLC.\, who also completed the bulk of the park renovations. \nAt mid-day\, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at the new playground by the North Country Chamber of Commerce and town officials. Lunch food will be available from Ben’s Saucey Hawg food truck\, with free hot dog vouchers for kids at The Community Builders Hub table.  The town will be giving out slices of celebratory sheet cake\, and pick up games like kickball\, pickleball and basketball will be taking place throughout the park for the afternoon.  A kids scavenger hunt will also be kicking off after the ribbon cutting at the Community Builders Hub table. The Stratford Hollow Fire Department will be offering a “touch a truck” experience for children to check out their fire truck\, as well\, and a kids beach ball toss game will be held at the ball field at 1:00. To add to the festivities\, local vendors will be set up by the playground\, offering information on services and selling their goods.   \nOrganizers are excited to get townspeople together from Stratford and neighboring towns\, to enjoy the enhanced park.  A Community Clean Up is being planned for the day before the event\, with the help of students and staff at the Stratford Public School. Volunteer projects include cleaning the pavilion\, litter pick up\, and gardening.  Contact the school if you’d like to help out: 603-922-3387. \nParking will be available at the Town Common & Stratford Public Library\, with reserved handicap spaces near the pavilion. Additional parking can be found along Main Street and at small lots at both ends of the park. Bring a camp chair to the park to hang out for the afternoon! Portable toilets are located at the library and ball field\, and a bathroom can be found at the library. For more information\, look to the Facebook event\, or contact britni@thecbh.org; 802-277-1974.   \nAny Stratford area businesses or organizations who offer trades\, crafts\, services or information are welcome to set up a vendor booth at the event.  Sign up forms are available here.   \nFor a handout with the lineup of events\, stop by the Stratford Town Office\, or download: Stratford Event Brochure \n\nAbove photo is a recently scanned negative in the collection of the Cohos Historical Society. It was taken on Back/River road. You can see the back of the Hinman House\, a early hotel in North Stratford on Main Street. Across the street you can see the old Stratford Public School facing Main Street. The hill behind is Stevens/School Hill. The current school was built in 1916. Photo taken 1890’s-1900.  A lot has changed since then.  Come see on May 16th!

SUMMARY:Community WEEK!
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, we helped to pull together a Stratford Park Clean-Up Day on the afternoon of June 29th.  A dozen hardy volunteers tackled community improvement projects in the rain that day\, and gathered at DeBanville’s afterwards for a slice of pizza\, drinks and live music to celebrate.  We accomplished the following together at the Back Street River Park in the north of town: \n\nBrush clean-up alongside the river\nBuilt two new benches to replace old ones by the basketball court\nCleaned out & repainted the ballfield dugouts\nStained the River Launch sign\n\nThis year we are planning round two and calling it a Community Day! (Now called Community Week and extended to work around weather.) Here’s what’s in store for projects: \n\n\nStratford Public School Community Clean-Up projects- rescheduled to Tuesday May 27\, 1-3 PM (due to poor weather) \n\nReviving school garden beds\, led by school staff\, with younger grades.\nLitter pickup for older students.\nRepainting school dugouts.\n\nProjects to take place all week\, starting Saturday\, May 24th\, 2025 at 9 AM (please sign up to be connected with a project leader by emailing britni@thecbh.org)  Thank you leaders! \n\nPainting benches led by Molly Carr\nPavilion clean up led by Sarah Kennett\nStaining benches & picnic tables led by Suzanne Goulet\nFlower planter cleanup led by Jamie Davis\nBrush clean-up along the edge of the park (contact town office)\n\nWe are going to kick off this Community Week on 5/24 at 5 PM\, by enjoying live music at DeBanville’s in Bloomfield\, VT!  At the end of the week\, all volunteers that helped out are invited to a pizza party at 5 PM on 5/30\, sponsored by DeBanville’s.  We thank them for their partnership & support on this effort\, as well as the Stratford Public School and Stratford Town Office.   \n\n\nTogether we can do so much to beautify Stratford!  We love to have fun and get stuff done!  If you are interested in volunteering for a project\, please contact Britni Haley at britni@thecbh.org or 802-277-1974.  Feel free to send a text.  See Facebook Event for updates.

SUMMARY:Children’s Playgroup in Stratford
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join this fun\, free program on Friday mornings!\nIn talking to community members at events\, parents and caregivers often expressed an interest in having more activities for children 5 & under. The library staff and trustees were more than happy to let us use their recently renovated children’s room for a weekly program and the town gladly offered up use of the pavilion next door\, as well as the park. \nIt’s a great opportunity for both adults and children to socialize and enjoy some fun activities. Mornings start in the library with playtime\, snacktime (bring your own snack) and storytime\, then transitions to active play outdoors.  Inside supplies are available for coloring\, as well as a selection of toys\, and an outdoor bin of toys/sports equipment is positioned at the basketball court for the public to use.  Kids love bringing their bikes to ride on the basketball court\, and we have bubbles\, balls to kick around and lots of fun to be had. Participants are co-designing programs and ideas are always welcome. \nThrough this simple idea to fill an identified need by gathering at an underutilized space at a set time each week\, more people are getting involved and connected in their community. We started the playgroup in September 2023 and it is now a volunteer-led program.  Drop in on a Friday at 9:30 a.m. to gather with little ones! \nLearn more on Facebook at Stratford Children’s Playgroup.

SUMMARY:Summer Picnic & Play Series! #1
DESCRIPTION:We are teaming up with the Family Resource Center to host a series of three “Picnic & Play” meet-ups on Fridays at parks in the North Country this summer.  After listening to what families we were looking for\, we came up with fun offerings at three different locations that will help bring people together and take advantage of our town’s assets.  We will be offering free peanut butter & jelly sandwiches\, applesauce\, and cold bottled water for families to enjoy a picnic together\, paired with fun things to do. \nFirst up in Stratford on June 28\, we will get together at the Pavilion on the Common\, next to the Stratford Public Library.  People can sit to enjoy lunch at the picnic tables in the shade\, and the kids can even sing & dance on the stage there if they’d like!  When folks are ready we’ll head on down to the Back Street River Park to play with soccer balls\, basketballs\, bubbles & families can bring bikes or scooters to ride around on the court. \nWe hope that these opportunities to gather will increase social connections in our communities\, open up eyes to the wonderful places we have in our towns\, and provide fun ways for families to enjoy time together this summer.

SUMMARY:Children’s Playgroup in Stratford
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join this fun\, free program on Friday mornings!\nIn talking to community members at events\, parents and caregivers often expressed an interest in having more activities for children 5 & under. The library staff and trustees were more than happy to let us use their recently renovated children’s room for a weekly program and the town gladly offered up use of the pavilion next door\, as well as the park. \nIt’s a great opportunity for both adults and children to socialize and enjoy some fun activities. Mornings start in the library with playtime\, snacktime (bring your own snack) and storytime\, then transitions to active play outdoors.  Inside supplies are available for coloring\, as well as a selection of toys\, and an outdoor bin of toys/sports equipment is positioned at the basketball court for the public to use.  Kids love bringing their bikes to ride on the basketball court\, and we have bubbles\, balls to kick around and lots of fun to be had. Participants are co-designing programs and ideas are always welcome. \nThrough this simple idea to fill an identified need by gathering at an underutilized space at a set time each week\, more people are getting involved and connected in their community. We started the playgroup in September 2023 and it is now a volunteer-led program.  Drop in on a Friday at 9:30 a.m. to gather with little ones! \nLearn more on Facebook at Stratford Children’s Playgroup.
