WILD PINK is a group show about the natural and cultural relationship of the ancient color PINK. There is certainly no dearth of pink in the natural world or in human culture. We accessorize, cosmeticize, gender-ize and interiorize to the point of being ‘tickled pink’. In the animal and floral world pink as hue and shade exists multifold. Whether to shock, protest or code the millennials, pink has survived the test of time. This show examines the fluid origins of PINK in ‘natural’ and/or ‘cultural’ contexts. This is open media, interdisciplinary, multimedia, installation, all contemporary crafts and design arts in two/three dimensions for the wall and floor.
Reception & Artist talks: Sept. 26th, 5-7pm

2024-09-24 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Lawson’s Finest Taproom, 155 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, Vermont, 05673
Formed after a serendipitous jam session at a Vermont bluegrass festival, Bloodroot Gap is a musical collaboration between brothers Rob and Jim McCuen (Swing Noire), Freeman Corey (Catamount Crossing, Big Spike Bluegrass) and Jake Munson.
Corey, a fiddle player who grew up on a dairy farm in Benson, is the son of a fine, old-time fiddler. He started playing at age 10, learning hundreds of Irish, Scottish and French-Canadian fiddle tunes from his father. Corey has become one of Vermont’s most sought-after traditional fiddlers, gracing the stage with Bob Amos and Catamount Crossing, Big Spike Bluegrass, The Haymakers and Spare Parts among countless other notable groups and musicians.
The McCuen Brothers have been performing side-by-side for nearly 30 years, founding the bands Wiley Dobbs, Acoustic Undermind, and Swing Noire, and sharing the stage with the likes of Frank Vignola, Jamie Masefield, Charlie Hunter and Doug Perkins. The brothers provide tight vocal harmonies and rhythmic accompaniment, as only twins can. Rob dazzles audiences with his fluid solos on mandolin and guitar, while Jim holds down the low end on upright bass.

In our time together, you’ll learn the basic steps and rhythm of the dance, how to connect with your partner, and several fun moves that will keep you 2-stepping for years to come.
No partner necessary, please bring shoes that allow you to shuffle and spin without much resistance. Best suited for ages 14 and up. Donations of $5-15 per class are greatly appreciated but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
We look forward to dancing with you this fall!

Volunteer Mountain Work Day
2024-09-28 09:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
Volunteer Mountain Work Days will once again utilize pre-registration and limit the total group size. Space is extremely limited, don’t wait, register online!
Events will be confirmed by 6:00 pm the day prior via the contact email provided. A wait list will be maintained with open slots filled by 6:00 pm the day prior.
Any minors that register must be at least 12 years of age, accompanied by their legal guardian/parent throughout the day, no dogs or swinging tools (hatchet, axe, maul) are allowed.

General information: The purpose of Volunteer Mountain Work Days is the maintenance of MRG’s legendary tree skiing and regeneration zones in our mountain forest. This involves cutting lines as well as setting aside areas for new trees to grow. Everything is done with hand tools. Work days are organized and led by Lars Bruns in consultation with ski area management. Volunteer Mountain Work Days are a great chance to get out on the mountain, care for your favorite terrain, and learn about how northeastern mountain forests grow. It is hard work, but also fun and satisfying to see a ski line take shape, and how trees will grow in response to care.
We welcome both experienced veterans and newcomers to the mountain work days. Each person who works a full day receives a complimentary day pass voucher for each day she or he works.

Logistics

Report at 9:00 am at the Cricket Club picnic table. We’re back down at 3:30 – 4:00 pm.
Most of the time we hike from the base, so be physically fit and prepared to hike the mountain top to bottom.
Most days are held rain or shine – Working in the rain is fun!
Bring work gloves, hiking boots, drinks & lunch.
Loppers are the most useful tool to bring. Make sure they are in good working order.
Work days navigate our gnarly terrain; no dogs or kids under 12 please. Minors under the age of 18 must register and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

The incidence of Lyme Disease is increasing rapidly in Vermont. This disease is debilitating and hard to get rid of. More Info on how to protect yourself while thrashing around the woods of Stark Mountain.
The following tools are not allowed: All power tools such as chain saws, and swinging tools such as hatchets or axes.
Outfitting for Rain Events:

Outer layer – The primary function is to hold in heat, as well as keep water out for as long as possible.

Goretex shell or other rainwear
Waterproof pant shell – old ski pants work well
Waterproof gaiters (Goretex)
Waterproof boots beforehand
Brimmed synthetic hat and fleece hat
If the weather is warm, then staying warm is not a problem. Fast-drying shorts, gaiters, and a rain shell may be sufficient.

Inner layers – No cotton – must keep one warm when wet.

Wool or synthetic shirt and long underwear
Fleece
Wool socks
Thin windbreaker underneath the shell to hold even more heat in

Other Tips

Put dry (synthetic) clothing in a garbage bag
Bring a second synthetic inner layer shirt (in the garbage bag) to change into at lunch
Put first aid kit in a waterproof bag
A thermos of hot tea or soup. Caffeine constricts capillaries and should be avoided
Bring backup gloves. Cold hands will not warm up in wet gloves
