2024-09-17 17:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Lawson’s Finest Taproom, 155 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, Vermont, 05673
Born and raised in Vermont, Justin LaPoint is a singer/songwriter armed with a unique voice and style. He draws on elements of his small-town upbringing and the forest surrounding him.

Wild Pink
2024-09-18 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-19 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-20 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-09-21 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Festival Gallery at Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street,, Waitsfield, 05673
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

Experience the Magic & Power of Four Gongs during a free gong bath on Friday afternoon, September 20 — with me, Gong Master Bridget Stone!
This is a free event that I call “OPEN GONG.” The gong is for everyone, and it doesn’t always have to be experienced in the formal setting of a sound healing event!
Time: I start playing at 5pm and will stop at 6:30pm. You may arrive and depart freely and at any time!
Location: The Lareau Park/Swimming Hole on Route 100 in Waitsfield
Suggestions: Wear comfortable and warm clothing, bring a yoga mat, eye covering, blanket or chair to sit/lay on

The gong is the guardian of the seed sound of the Universe — OM. One of the oldest instruments on the planet, a masterfully played gong will lower brain wave activity and launch you into deep relaxation, subconscious realms, and sublime dreamstates. The benefits of a sound bath include: healing the physical and emotional bodies, resetting the body’s electromagnetic field, a decrease in stress and anxiety, relief of physical ailments, increased clarity and vision, and more.

Volunteer Mountain Work Day
2024-09-21 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.
Summer/Fall 2024 Schedule

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
