An April 16 fire destroyed the barns and house of a property on State Route 67 in Walloomsac. The property, located just west of the Bennington Battlefield entrance on the south side of the road, had no immediately available constant water source. A hay barn and large pole barn were completely destroyed. The house, while still partially standing, appears to be a total loss.

Hoosick Falls Country Club Re-Opens
submitted by Krissy Fauler
After a long, cold winter, the Hoosick Falls Country Club has re-opened. On July 16, 2014, there was a kitchen fire that put the kitchen in the clubhouse out of commission and also resulted in damage in the dining area. The Country Club shut down entirely in late October. Since that time the Club worked with the insurance company to determine the cost to repair the kitchen and dining areas, and finally came to an agreeable amount at the end of January.
