Weathersfield News June 8, 2016
I made it through another crazy
weekend of events. Friday night I was in White River Junction for First
Friday-shops open up to musicians of all kinds- a great way to spend an evening
and at low cost or now cost. Starting at 8 p.m. the party moved into the Briggs
Opera House for the Bernie Man Festival ( a local take on Burning Man) held as
a fundraiser for Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders. Sunday was the 25th Annual Covered Bridges
Half Marathon -the race starts in Pomfret and
13.1 miles later ends in Quechee. Despite the rain runners, volunteers and
spectators seemed to be having a good time. Time now to turn to school
graduations. Over the next couple of weeks, the schools in our area will be
moving children and young adults on to the next stage of their lives. Not sure
what to get my niece, is money still acceptable, and how much? Oh, the
stress...thank goodness there are alumni parades to take my mind off this
pressure filled situation.
I spent a couple of afternoons with my friend Sydney, she's eight and she raises bees!
I learned all about bees and their life cycle. Sydney even got interviewed for the newspaper.
Woke up Sunday at 4 a.m. and headed to Quechee to help out at the 25th running of the Covered Bridges Half Marathon!
After a beautiful sunrise, the clouds rolled in, but the runners loved it!
Rich Smith from Enfield NH was the first man to cross.
Phoebe Novello from Windsor VT was the first woman across only three minutes behind Rich!
Sunday night, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones returned to Lebanon Opera House for a benefit concert for COVER Home Repair. The show sold out and I was glad I got in to hear this band. If you missed them Sunday you can catch them at the Burlington Jazz Fest later this week.
