Hello, Burlington!

I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend and are ready to start the unofficial autumn season with us.

The Burlington Citizen Police Academy will be starting up again in just a few weeks, and enrollment is open for those who would like to meet some of our officers and learn more about the inner workings of our police department. The program runs Wednesday evenings from 6-9, from October 12 thru December 14. Sign up here!

Also this week, don’t miss your opportunity to speak directly with your Congressman on Wednesday, taste some local brews & bites and hear a really interesting historical presentation on Thursday, catch the Burlington Players’ fall show on Friday, and more!
