Saturday Brunch, Camp Crafts & Movie Night Double Feature, ViewMasters & More
Happy Monday!
Another great Barre Heritage Festival is in the books, and it was wonderful to be part of it in a big way this year with the first Taste of Barre.
We would like to offer special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Passumpsic Bank, as well as The Barre Partnership for all they have done to make the entire weekend a success. We also couldn’t have asked for better partners than Pearl Street Pizza, Morse Block Deli, Vermont Salumi, Fox Market, and Barre Biergarten, who all provided such delicious food for the evening.
And of course, we’re incredibly grateful to our members and guests, as well as musical guests Vecchio Stile, who made the evening so memorable. We had 118 people pre-register and more showed up for tickets at the door, making it the largest event we’ve hosted to date. We’re already looking forward to next year!
