Work From Home Life

BEN FRECHETTE SHOWS US SOME OF THEM IN THIS WEEK’S “THIS IS OUR HOME”. NOTHING COMPARES TO THE UNBREAKABLE BOND BETWEEN DOGS AND HUMANS… IT’S A LOVE THAT INSPIRED THIS LANDMARK IN SAINT JOHNSBURY. DOG MOUNTAIN FEATURES 150 ACRES OF MOUNTAINTOP FARMLAND, PURCHASED BY THE LATE ARTIST STEPHEN HUNECK AND HIS WIFE GWEN. JUDY ROSS DOES COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR THE MOUNTAIN. SHE SAYS THE OLD BARN WAS CONVERTED TO A GALLERY FOR STEPHEN’S “WOODCRAFT” ART. BUT HIS GREATEST WORK IS THE CENTERPIECE OF DOG MOUNTAIN — THE DOG CHAPEL. A HEALING SPACE. PROVIDING CLOSURE TO PET OWNERS… AFTER LOSING A BELOVED ANIMAL. SAINT JOHNSBURY IS ALSO HOME TO THE ONLY PUBLIC PLANETARIUM IN VERMONT, FOUND AT THE FAIRBANKS MUSEUM. MAKE YOUR OWN TORNADO, EXPERIMENT WITH ELECTRICITY, OR EXPLORE A LARGE COLLECTION OF PRESERVED FOSSILS, MINERALS, AND WILDLIFE. THE “EYE ON THE SKY” TEAM DELIVERS DAILY FORECASTS FROM THE MUSEUM. WHEN SHE’S NOT IN FRONT OF THE MICROPHONE, METEOROLOGIST MEGAN DUNCAN TEACHES VISITING STUDENTS ABOUT OUR WEATHER AND CLIMATE. FOR MEGAN, SHARING THAT LOVE OF DISCOVERY HAS BEEN A DREAM COME TRUE.
