As every Vermonter knows,Town Meeting Day is the first Tuesday in March. Next week, people all across the state will gather together to talk about and vote on issues important to their town. We'll preview a few of the items up for discussion in towns across the state with Steven Jeffrey of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns. We'll also talk with Laurie Levin about gun control measures, Shana Stewart Deeds about a Wildand Scenic designation for the Missisquoi River,and Andy Simon about tar sands resolutions.

Also on the program, the folk and Americana band After the Rodeo will be performing live. With D Davis on guitar, Matt Schrag on mandolin, guitar and tenor guitar and Pat Melvin on bass, the band blends three-part harmonies while using the old-school single microphone. After the Rodeo play original instrumental and lyrical compositions.
