Ledyard Photo Friday - Snow Contest Underway

Last winter I held several snow guessing contests. This year hasn’t given us many opportunities but it looks like snow may be on the way. Here are the rules: Snow will be measured with the official ruler on my deck in Gales Ferry. You must live in Ledyard now or have lived in Ledyard in the past to be eligible. You must guess by midnight tonight on my Ledyard Facebook Page!  Closest without going over wins a $25 gift certificate to a Ledyard business of your choice.

P.S. Disclaimer: Snow measuring is not an exact science.

Ledyard on Facebook

When I created my Ledyard Business Page on Facebook, I never dreamed it would be such a great resource.  Yesterday I posted the question “Anyone have the scoop? Village market has a sign "Excuse our appearance, under new management?"”

I had my answer in 17 minutes.

From the buzz of discussion, I learned that the new store would be Starwood Market, and the owner is out of Norwich. That’s all I know for now but I’m sure my Facebook friends will enlighten me if there is any new info.
