5 Things You Need To Know Today: Jan. 13

"Five Things You Need to Know Today" is a Patch column that provides readers with essential, daily information at a glance.

1. A Fond Farewell. Saying goodbye is never easy, and that's especially the case with New Hampshire Patch's Primary RV. Yes, it was only a rental, but the jolly green recreational vehicle will be forever in our hearts. Take a look at back at the that helped us choose the name, , and watch of a couple of "political tourists" who took a ride on the RV and gave a special shout out to Bedford Patch.

2. Local Achievements of the Day. Kyle John Roosen, a resident of Bedford, graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in PRTM (Professional Golf Management) from Clemson University Dec. 22, 2011. Roosen was among 1,121 students who received degrees at the ceremony.

3. MLK Day Closures. All Bedford Town Offices, as well as the U.S. Post Office, will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

4. More snow? Maybe a little, though there's not likely to be any accumulation. Bedford is likely to see a mix of snow and rain showers today, with a 60 percent chance of precipitation. Still 42 degrees should make the day feel somewhat comfortable.
