The Weekly Packet - August 20, 2015

In this issue

From a newly proposed cell tower to the absolute auction of a multi-million dollar waterfront property on Peters Cove there is lots to read about this week. Also inside, a local mycologist takes us on a foraging expedition and Surry Arts in the Barn continues to flourish and grow. We also begin out coverage of police news and court coverage and continue with our At the Helm series.
