Last week I made mention of the Franklin County Field Days being held this week, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, just off the Franklin County Airport access road in Highgate. Tonight is?
It was good to see Marqus Blakeley signed to an NBA contract; he worked hard and has fulfilled a dream, at least for the present. On Sunday, my wife and I saw the John Tesh concert at the Flynn Center in Burlington, Vermont, and Tesh co-hosted the event with Mary Hart from Entertainment Tonight. His big part was celebrity birthdays when he was on Entertainment Tonight, and it was a very popular show on which?

This past Saturday, July 24th, St. Albans, Vermont and Kingman Street were the proud hosts of the first annual Kingman Klassic. The Kingman Klassic was an idea brought to fruition by Kathy Manahan with help from a couple personal friends and a rather large group Kingman Klassic staffers, wherein classic vehicles of all varieties were displayed for the public. The event was totally free for those of us lucky enough to get a chance to?
Toyota is planning to produce not only a new plug-in electric Prius by 2012, but also several other EV vehicles for that model year.

Here's something I haven't blogged about in a while: updates on the website. To start off, let me tell you about a cool new feature we just learned how to use around Handy Toyota-the Video Blog.

A month or two ago, Toyota engaged in a union with Tesla Motors, an automotive maker of purely electric vehicles.
