MILLBROOK — Although the traditional Millbrook Literary Festival could not take place this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers were able to creatively restructure the much-loved affair into a Community Read. The free day-long event was held on Saturday, Sept. 18, and drew a great number of participants from around the community.

MILLBROOK — Tennis anyone? Not if you live in Millbrook. That’s because the tennis court located near Elm Drive Elementary School, long a favorite for people who love tennis and don’t want to travel for a game, has been in a state of disrepair. In good times, two games can be played at once, enough, it seems to keep the community happy.
MILLBROOK — Many people were let down when the Millbrook Literary Festival was canceled this May, and then more recently, Millbrook Community Day was also canceled. COVID has caused many cancellations, and though disappointed, most people seem to be understanding.
