New show alert! The making of this video was a collaboration, much like the actual project itself. Cavendish was the pilot project for "Culvert Crawlers", a partnership between the Town, a team of community volunteers & organizers, and Dartmouth College...all in the name of flood resiliency & good stewardship. "Don't pitch in the ditch" a timely message as we head towards Green Up Day!

The "Average Daves" (as they're known on TV) were back in the studio today ...this time to talk cartoons. They're not REALLY all that "average". Know why? They both hold the important job of dispatchers for the Ludlow Police Department. As part of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we want to extend our appreciation for their efforts...both in & out of the studio. Thanks, Daves!

Congrats to the students of the Audio-Video Production program at River Valley Tech Center... and to the program for "producing" yet another State championship. We are proud partners of this program and thankful for the talent that has come to us (including 3 of our current staff, who are all alumni, as well as our intern, who is a current student). It's quite the program they run over there. For any youngster looking to get into AV production / media / film as a potential career path, it's worth checking into this program!
