Family Tournament
2024-01-14 09:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
The Family Tournament originated as the Father-Son race and dates back to 1942 when it was originally held on the flanks of Mount Mansfield (Stowe). In its modern form, it is a race open to anyone who wants to participate. Racers complete a family-friendly GS course where a racer’s best time from two runs (attempts) is counted. The time is then added together with other family members (by blood relationship) in the following categories and prizes are awarded. In some cases, there are coveted trophies that live permanently at MRG for all to admire. The Family Tournament is the first leg of the MRG Racing Triple Crown.
All racers should register in the MRG Online Store.

What’s the big idea? As a freshman in college, my first grade on a paper was a D-
minus. When I spoke to the professor about my failure, he told me I knew the
material, the facts, but had no Big Idea. This was a huge lesson then and has
remained so ever since.
Concept, line and space drive the inquiry in my creative practice, both as an architect
and as an artist. In my work, both line and space are constructed to serve an imagined — even
irrational — beginning (The Big Idea). A conceptual narrative takes shape, a backstory
might develop, a fantasy or a metaphor might direct the path of the project. As I
proceed in my design process a kind of acceptance of a new reality starts to inform
me and a dialogue of choices and decisions take off.

Climate and Ecology Film Discussion: Surviving the ’72 Flood

🌿We’re excited to announce our partnership with the Mad River Valley Libraries on a monthly environmental-themed book club. For January, in partnership with the Moretown Library, we’re excited to mix things up and watch a documentary instead! 🌿
We’ll be watching and discussing two documentaries:
The first tells the story of the 1972 Rapid City flood in South Dakota. We’ll hear firsthand from the town’s residents about their experience on the day of the flood and from the town officials on steps taken afterward to prevent future flood devastation. The second is closer to home and talks a bit about a similar preventative technique but at a much smaller scale being applied in Montpelier in the aftermath of the July 2023 flood.
This event is free and open to the public. Please register below if you’d like to attend and contact onome@friendsofthemadriver.org with questions.
Please note that the Moretown Memorial Library is located in the Town Hall.
