2. FROM MINI BEES TO LONG WINGS: FAREWELL TO LORI & TED: As of Aug 1, Lori and Ted Brand of Minibees (a.k.a The Cavendish General Store) are moving to Florida, whose state insect is the Zebra Long Wing, a type of butterfly. Their contributions to the town-from the most delicious chocolate chip cookies to the Cavendish Survivor Contest-will be sorely missed.
On July 24, Sunday, from 2-5 pm, the community is hosting a farewell party for the Brands on the property next to the store. There will be a BBQ grill going, so bring a side dish, cold drinks to share or something for the grill. More importantly, bring your well wishes for our friends and neighbors on their new adventure.
If there is something specific you’d like to do, or need more information, please contact Jamie at 802-376-4178

A performer of great energy and focus, Chris is well known for his sparkling interpretive skills, bringing songs from across a broad spectrum to spice up an already simmering, soulful pot of music.
