More about Stephen:
Stephen Vittoria is an award-winning filmmaker and author.
His last two feature documentaries—Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern—have been embraced by moviegoers and audiences worldwide. Vittoria was also a producer on two feature documentaries by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney: Gonzo: The Life & Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and Magic Trip: Ken Kesey’s Search for a Kool Place. Along with journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, Vittoria co-authored the three-book nonfiction series Murder Incorporated: Empire, Genocide, and Manifest Destiny—with forewords by Angela Davis, S. Brian Willson, and Chris Hedges. Vittoria is the founder and creative director of two Southern California production companies: Street Legal Cinema and Deep Image. Regarding Vittoria as a storyteller, legendary filmmaker, Albert Maysles, publicly petitioned his colleagues in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences to consider Vittoria’s documentary feature, Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary, for Oscar consideration.
The Book:
It’s 1994. Christina, a young Gulf War veteran struggling with PTSD and the loss of both parents, drives cross-country in a borrowed car, desperately seeking relief and redemption in Asbury Park, the seaside mecca of her childhood. It’s a place well past its prime and reigned over by the self-proclaimed King of Asbury Park: The Whitefish—a disabled Vietnam vet, tavern owner, artist, and philosopher. It’s here, on the Jersey shore, that a chance meeting leads to a profound and life-altering connection. Rewind to the eighties: two girls, best friends, falling in love was something to be kept secret.
Reaching adulthood, Christina and Jaime move to Las Vegas to escape prejudice and build a new life. Unable to cope with her parents’ deaths and convinced she’s doing the right thing for herself and her country, Christina enlists in the U.S. Army, only to find herself racked by a further and compounding wartime trauma. Christina and the Whitefish is a powerful novel that questions the conventional treatment and care methods veterans receive in an inadequate, pharmaceutical-driven system, bringing to light just how critical human connection is to wellbeing and survival.
“Christina and the Whitefish” asks tough questions about how to love and when to leave, questions that reveal a critical truth: family can be birthed from circumstance. And then, even in the pain and the stumbling, if you don’t give up—keep seeking and moving toward something better—friends and healing will find you—and love, no matter how battered, can endure even the darkest of times.

You’ll have a chance to meet with representatives from groups doing important work in our Valley, including:• Mad River Mentoring• Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce• stewardMRV• MRV Rotary Club• MRV Ambulance Service• The Knotweed Project• Local Town Conservation Commissions…and more!
To deepen the weekend’s theme of civic engagement, we’re also hosting a special screening of the feature documentary Join or Die—a compelling look at the half-century decline of American civic life through the work of renowned social scientist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone. The film explores three pressing questions:

What makes democracy work?

Why is American democracy in crisis?

Most importantly—what can we do about it?

The documentary features voices from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, Priya Parker, and many grassroots leaders working to rebuild community across the country.
Details for the screening are coming soon—stay tuned!
Let’s come together to strengthen our Valley and reimagine what civic life can look like.

STARK’S PUB WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH FOR SIPTEMBERFEST.
Back in 2008, three folks who really like beer, really like festivals and really like Mad River Glen, decided we wanted to bring the fun of a beer fest back to the Valley and that the only way it was going to happen was if we pulled up our bootstraps and did it ourselves!
Although Siptemberfest has grown over the years it is still the greatest little beer festival in the state of Vermont. There are still only around 24 brewers and roughly 800 tickets for sale, making it the Best Little Beer Fest in Vermont. For more information check out the official SIPtemberfest website.

The Feast of Fools began in medieval Europe as a day of revelry when commoners became kings, fools became prophets, and music, laughter, and food united communities. In that tradition, Camp Meade will come alive with circus, music, food, and community gathering.
Highlights include:
Middlesex Artisan Market – 11:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. featuring quality local creators
The Red Trouser Show – internationally renowned circus stars performing at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.
The Hokum Brothers – Vermont’s own fun-loving band playing two sets at noon and 2:00 p.m.
Brass Balagan – raucous street brass at 4:00 p.m.
Montpelier Alive’s New Resident Mixer – 3:00–5:00 p.m.
ONE Arts – face-painting and creative projects for all ages, 2:00–5:00 p.m.
And because no “feast” is complete without food: vendors including Woodbelly Pizza (12:00–5:00 p.m.) and The Local Wine & Beer (12:00–5:00 p.m.) will keep the crowd well-fed and happy.
“The Feast of Fools has always been about joy, resilience, and community,” says festival founder Woody Keppel. “This preview is just the beginning—a playful promise of the full festival to come.”
Suggested donation: Adults $10, Kids $5

How to Manage Invasive Species across a Watershed (Workshop)
2025-09-22 16:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Waitsfield Town Offices, 4144 Main Street, Waitsfield, VT, 05673
Please join us at an upcoming field workshop sponsored by North Branch Nature Center in collaboration with the Warren, Waitsfield and Fayston Conservation Commissions and the University of Vermont’s Ecological Planning Laboratory.
How to Manage Invasive Species across a Watershed (Workshop) will be held on September 22nd from 4:00 to 6:30 pm. The tour will begin at the Waitsfield Town offices at 4144 Main Street. For more information and to register, go to the North Branch workshop page, at https://northbranchnaturecenter.org/event/wlc-invasives/ .
The Mad River Valley Knotweed Project has been working for eight years to map and control invasive plants and restore riverside habitats in the Mad River Watershed. Along the way, they’ve experimented with every technique under the sun, from hand-pulling to mowing to goat grazing, partnering with university faculty and biodiversity experts along the way to improve and evaluate their efforts and create a comprehensive GIS mapping system, and develop experience in riparian habitat restoration. On this tour, see what techniques have—and haven’t—worked, what kind of progress has been achieved, and learn why managing invasives requires experience in community building and systems thinking. The workshop will be led by Sean Beckett, Program Director at North Branch and an accomplished educator.
Serving as workshop resources are:
– Noelia Barrios-Garcia, an Instructor and Invasive Species Ecologist with the Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources at UVM.
– Jito Coleman, chair of the Warren Conservation Commission.
– Andrea Henderson, co-chair of the Fayston Conservation Commission.
– Curt Lindberg, chair of the Waitsfield Conservation Commission and co-founder of the Vermont Biodiversity Alliance.
If you are concerned with the threat presented by Japanese knotweed and wondering about management options and sensible watershed strategies to stem its spread, please join us.
