		Thanks for Visiting Us at the Bristol Harvest Festival Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit our booth at the Bristol Harvest Festival. It was beautiful day and another great year with Kris staffing our booth. We truly enjoy meeting our customers face-to-face and what better place than at a great community event such as the Harvest Festival. Looking forward to seeing all of you again next year! Team WCVT Helps Out WCVT employees, Chris and Caleb, usually found high above the ground repairing utility poles, traded in their tools for a paintbrush to help spruce up the flagpole at Waitsfield Elementary School. This act of volunteerism not only added a fresh coat of paint, but also symbolized unity and support for the local school and community. Great job, Chris and Caleb!
