Horseshoes On the Recreation Path
On September 28, 2009 Freemasons from Lamoille
Lodge #6 in Fairfax, installed three regulation
horseshoe pits on the Fairfax Recreation Path.
The horseshoe pits are available for use by the
public during normal Rec Path hours of operation.
They were installed by the local Masonic lodge
in an effort to promote healthy activities that
engage the community.
Playing a game of horseshoes is a great excuse
to get outside and have fun, so get down to
the Rec Path and throw some horseshoes....
but please, take'em off the horse first !
You will need to bring your own horseshoes in
order to play. If there is enough interest,
a league may be formed in the spring.
If you are interested in joining a league
or looking for a team to play against
contact John Schraven.

Harmon Gets the Win
Casey pitched six full allowing three earned.
Former South Burlington pitcher Casey Harman was
on the mound today
for Clemson in the College
World Series game against Arizona State.

me of Casey a few years ago.
Rain delayed yesterday's game to 10:00am.

Fairfax Football lost a close playoff game to
Windsor 19-17 after losing to them earlier in
the season 42-0 in Fairfax.
Many teams would have given up, but not BFA.
BFA Fairfax Football Coach Mike Williams
"The loss certainly stings quite a bit,
we had the #1 seed on the ropes and if not
for a bounce or two here or there, it may
have been a different outcome.
Needless to say we are very proud of our
players, their efforts this season and where
they have taken the program in such a short
time, is unbelievable.
The work of the assistant coaches, the boosters

Gillilan & Stewart
Will be Missed
by Chris Santee
One of the greatest assets the town of Fairfax
possesses is its family oriented atmosphere,
especially prominent at Bellows Free Academy
Fairfax.
Students, to this day, hold the doors open
as their elders approach the building.
Parents continue to host sleepovers to assist
their friends while another child plays a game
"out-of-town".
When a game is played "in town", many parents,
students and fans gather, enjoy local sports
and catch up on what's been going on in
their lives.
When the BFA Bullets baseball team takes the
field next spring, sadly there will be a couple
familiar faces missing from the crowd.
Cleon Archie Gillilan and Robert "Uncle Bob"
Stewart passed away late in the summer of 2005.
There will be two chairs at the games next season,
reserved for Mr. Gillilan and Mr. Stewart down
the first base line.
You won't see them there, but you just might
see some angels in the outfield.
