Darlene Power, left, and Deborah Rose hold a protest Friday, March 4, on Farmington Falls Road in New Sharon to encourage residents to reject all articles on the 2022 town warrant. Townspeople were concerned with the format of New Sharon’s 2022 Town Meeting, held by referendum vote. Some residents said they felt the new process hindered peoples’ voices. Power dressed as a duck to represent the “sitting ducks” of the Board of Selectmen, and Rose dressed as a bulldog to signify they are serving as “watchdogs” for the Board of Selectmen.
