Crepe Night

These seasonal monthly gatherings, held each month at Scott Farm from May through September, are times to celebrate the harvest, good simple food, and community in a stunning setting - picnic style. Outdoor and indoor tables and chairs are provided as well as a sprawling grassy hillside ripe for picnic blankets, folding lawn chairs, and bare feet. Each month is co-hosted by a different local non-profit who benefits from the evening's proceeds. Local music adds to the ambiance. This month supports Vermont Insight Meditation Center.

Wednesday, July 10

5:30-7:30pm

$20/adults ; $10/children

Scott Farm, 707 Kipling Rd., Dummerston

Coester, a Westminster logger and small business owner who won the Republican and Libertarian nominations for Vermont's sole seat in the U.S. House, even seemed to question his own presence at the debate and his status as the parties' standard-bearer.

Act 127 is good law, and long overdue
