We're getting ready to walk out the door and go film the Rag Shag Parade but we want to make sure that we bring you all up to date, quickly, on our latest news.
As mentioned above, we'll be broadcasting Greenfield's Rag Shag Parade LIVE! tonight beginning around 5:15pm on Cable Channel 15 and then we'll run back to the office to post pictures of the Rag Shag Costume Contest Winners on our website. Be sure to tune in and click on over for both of those things.
Our election coverage is ramping up and we've added a lot of new video content to our elections page. In addition, keep your eyes pealed for announcements about our election night coverage. Also, if you look to your right you'll see pictures from Tuesday night's State Rep Debate that were taken by Hallmark School of Photography student Gary Denmark. Finally, we'd like to thank NewTV (Newton Community Access Television) for allowing us to link to their State Auditor Candidates Debate.
We're really excited about our Masquerade Party tomorrow night. Check our page on Facebook for some details about the prizes.
Okay, I think that's the short version of all the stuff that's going on here.

Weekly Wrap-up
As promised, we'll begin this post with the things we didn't have time to tell you about last week. On October 13th "The Western Mass Democrat" host Joe Gochinski recorded an hour long interview with Massachusetts Congressional Representative John Olver. The first half of this session will air on Cable Channel 15 in December followed by part two in January. On the 15th, Genevieve Fraser sat down with Dr. Andrew Blais to film the second in a three-part series of "Local Bias" episodes featuring the candidates running in the 2nd Franklin District State Representative race. Her program, as well as the first installment with Steve Adam, is running on GCTV and is available to watch online at GCTV.org as part of our Video on Demand Player (in the "Local Bias" category). Denise Andrews came in to our studio today to round out this group of shows and we hope to have hers online on Monday.
After the "Local Bias" crew was finished for today our studio was filled with youngsters and their parents for a taping of a new "Kid Trivia" episode by our youngest producer. Incidentally, the GCTV staff would like to send her our warmest birthday wishes! You go girl!
When we weren't assisting producers in our TV studio, the staff spent a lot of time this week prepping for next week's debate, FRCOG & Greenfield School Committee meetings, Greenfield's Rag Shag Parade, and of course our Masquerade Party. Producer Brent Eaton donated his time and talent to our cause by, once again, airbrushing the backdrop we'll be using at the Rag Shag when we take pictures for our website. If you're participating in the parade be sure to stop by our tents in front of Town Hall and get your picture taken. Then, make sure to check our homepage right after the parade for pictures of this year's winners.
GCTV in the News: The work of one of our producers was recognized recently by a major New Hampshire newspaper. Check out this article in the Keene Sentinel on the documentary "Sy's Fund".
Finally, we'd like to announce that GCTV has a job opening. To find out more check out the new "Opportunities" page on our website.

Loads of Good Public Information
This was quite a week for informing the public about important local issues.
At 1PM on Tuesday afternoon Alicia was on location at the Greenfield Town Planning Offices to record the awarding of checks to representatives of Greenfield, Athol, Montague, and Palmer. The towns earned this money by participating in the Green Communities Act Grant Program. Later that same day Mayor Martin brought Greenfield's Director of Economic Development and Marketing, Robert Pyers, into our studio to record a new "Mayor's Memo" in an effort to answer residents' questions about the upcoming parking changes.
More guests were brought into the studio on Wednesday and Thursday when Joe Gochinski, host and producer of "The Western Mass Democrat", interviewed Hampden County Register of Deeds Donald Ashe and Dr. Andrew Blais, guest host of "Local Bias", sat down for a conversation with Republican candidate for state representative in the 2nd Franklin District Steve Adam.
Friday took us back out into the field to cover the Community Coalition for Teens (CCT) Youth Behavior Survey Results Press Conference and a special Greenfield School Committee Meeting.
You can be informed about all the subjects discussed in these programs by checking our Video on Demand Player (Green Grant Presentation, "Mayor's Memo", and the CCT Press Conference) or watching Cable Channel 15 next week ("Local Bias", "The Western Mass Democrat", and the Greenfield School Committee Meeting)
