Kaylie Flanigan, Berrio Town Counselor, has never won Model
Town in all of her three years as a counselor at ALA Girls State. This week,
Berrio is here to change that. After just a few meetings in the basement
kitchen, we’ve already become not only a functioning town, but an extremely fun
one. During the first night, we adorned our hallway ceiling with red, white,
and blue streamers and plastered the walls with paper butterflies and flowers.
Because Kaylie is a fan of Parks and Recreation (a TV comedy), she gave each of
us a pin from the show and we will have a town-wide Parks and Rec. night where
we watch episodes together.
Our select board has appointed a town mom to watch over us
and a town goat keeper (the name is unrelated) who is responsible for holding
us accountable to the positivity ordinance, which was issued to keep us upbeat.
Berrio has a policy of sharing snacks and we try to limit phone use at meals to
encourage conversation and form stronger bonds. We’ve also arranged a town-wide
dance party and will appoint a Spotify professional to DJ the event. Several
Berrio residents have bravely chosen to run for statewide office and in support
of them, we will have a campaign session to create campaign materials prior to
the elections. We love Berrio!
