Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
A letter you published denounced the upcoming Liberty Food Festival, and admonished the town of Bellows Falls for hosting the events because of the views of the speakers on an entirely different topic. The writer suggested that the town violate the First Amendment on behalf...

To the Editor,
I am writing to disagree with a December 5 letter to the editor of The Deerfield Valley News titled “Food festival offers platform for misinformation.” Jenevra Wetmore, of Strafford, wrote that this year’s December 12 to 14 Liberty Food Fest in Bellows Falls “will...
