CONTEST WINNER! Tenney Spinneit (center) of Stow was the winner of The Stow and Bolton Independent “Free Passes to meet blues artist James Montgomery” contest. She and her guest, Jon Marcus (left), were also invited to stay for the James Montgomery Band show at The International Golf and Resort Club in Bolton on New Year’s Eve. Tenney said after the show, “We had an amazing time – will never forget it!! James and his entire group could not have been nicer and more gracious!” Congratulations to Tenney and thank you to James Montgomery and company for providing the passes for the contest. On a recent trip to Germany and Prague CZ with friends, Theresa Reardon visited the Berlin Wall and so did the Stow Independent. We toured Berlin, Dresden Germany and Prague on our European adventure. Meg Hastings took the Stow Independent with her to Mourne Boulage, Haiti in November while visiting a medical clinic and water purification project.
