Mercury Rising

I realize Halloween was a week ago, but I don't want you to miss this.

His picture MAY make it into the VT Standard this week, but we need his name, please!"

Elvis might be living on a desert island or in Kalamazoo, but Freddie Mercury is alive and well and living in central Vermont.
