On Sunday, as we were setting up for the second talk on plants, several hornets appeared in the Museum, resulting in one person being stung. It turns out there is a nest on the corner of the building, just under the roof. While we are trying to get this taken care of before this coming Sunday, we may need to shorten the season for the safety of all. Please check the Cavendish VT Facebook page, where we will post if we’re unable to open.
