  • The word-count limit for letters is 350, including signatures (with exceptions at the discretion of the editor).
  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.
  • Email letters to editor@harvardpress.net with “Letter to the Editor” in the subject line, or send by regular mail to Editor, The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451. Deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday to be included in that Friday's edition.
  • Letters should include your name, address, and phone number. Phone numbers and house numbers will not be printed; they are used only for verification.

  • Letters must be signed by individuals; we do not accept group names as signatures. Up to four people may sign a letter on behalf of a group; all must provide addresses and phone numbers.
  • During contests for public office, we will not publish endorsement letters the Friday before an election. Based on space availability, we may limit the number of endorsement letters in a given week, but will strive to print a balanced representation of letters received. We will not publish negative letters about any candidate.
  • All letters may be read online by Harvard Press subscribers who are logged-on registered users of the website.

Lions Club thanks the supporters of Winter Fest

by Joe Schmidt  ·   Friday, March 13, 2026

The Lions Club would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and all who attended and supported Winter Fest 2026, with special thanks to Carlson Orchards who hosted the event. We were able to have all the activities going: apple cannons, skillet toss, human dogsled pull, fairy field, a kids play area with two special quests, and a scavenger hunt. It was perfect weather with snow flurries and then a clear beautiful day. We had a great turnout. A special shoutout to the talented local photographers who submitted winter photos for the photo exhibit. We appreciate The Tangled Thread for supporting the knitted hat contest.

Cheers to all who submitted entries in the people’s choice chili and mac and cheese contests. Winners for the contests are listed on the Harvard Lions website.

The wassail king and queen, Mike and Wendy Eldridge, joined our “wassail singers” to raise a toast to the local orchards for a banner 2026 apple harvest. Based on the smiles, everyone appeared to have a great time.
