On April 4, Pat Cutter (left) of the Andover Historical Society presented a hooked rug featuring iconic Andover landmarks to Vicky Mishcon of the Andover Board of Selectmen as selectmen Jim Delaney and others looked on. The rug was designed and crafted by Julie Mayo, Marge Leber, Sandra Graves, Grace Stetson, and Pat Cutter based on a collection of line drawings of Andover scenes by Sheldon Rich. Townspeople donated nearly $1,200 to the Andover Historical Society in order for the rug not to be raffled as a fundraiser but instead to be donated to the Town of Andover and hung in the Town Hall for all to enjoy. The Society is having greeting cards created from a high-quality photograph of the rug; the cards will be on sale on the Village Green on the Fourth of July. Photo: Charlie Darling
