This blog thing can be a capricious beast. Some weeks I have so many blog ideas that I have to make a list lest I forget something. Other times — like these last few weeks — those ideas have been few and far between. Now that the holidays have passed, there seems to be little going on, at least that I’ve been told about.
Finally, though, something came across my dining room table/office desk that sparked my interest: the latest edition of the Webster Today.
You may know this publication as the former Town Times, what it was called during Supervisor Nesbitt’s tenure. This is the second edition of this new and improved quarterly newsletter. The first was published in October and I was immediately impressed by its glossy, full-color layout and the clean and organized way it presented information.
This latest edition continues to impress. Some of my favorite features, again, include
- a table of contents right on the front cover
- a complete town government directory on the inside cover, perfect for tearing off and putting on the fridge
- photos of the town board members
- LOTS of information about the Rec Center
- handsome photo illustrations and colorful charts
There’s also a nice visual spotlighting several of the positive things that happened in 2020, including opening of the outdoor ice rink at the Rec Center, the re-imagined Summer Celebration and the Parade of Lights. There’s even a fascinating 2-page feature compiled by the Webster Museum highlighting almost two dozen Webster residents who fought in the Civil War and are buried in town cemeteries.
Every home and business in the town received a copy of Webster Today this week, so if you haven’t gotten yours yet, keep an eye out for it. And if you tossed it in the recycle bin without even looking at it, I recommend you rescue it and take a closer look. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
And by the way, if you know of anything going on in town you would like me to blog about, please email me!!!

Good morning, Well, I am going to have to differ with you on your report about the new Town Times. I wonder how expensive that glossy, magazine-like publication cost? I’m guessing our tax dollars paid for it.
There is NOTHING about the Webster Library included in this new version of the Town Times. The Webster Public Library is a town department. In the past, we received a request for our submissions, but we are no longer asked.
What about the other Town departments? It is a very one-sided representation of the Town of Webster.
Sorry to differ with you Missy, but this upsets me for sure.

Hmmm… I think there wasn’t anything from the libarry in the last edition, either. That’s something that has to change. And never worry about expressing a contrary opinion 🙂 You make some good points.
