NUTTY STEPH'S 3rd ANNUAL FREE! COMMUNITY CIRCUS

NUTTY STEPH'S 3rd ANNUAL FREE! COMMUNITY CIRCUS
Camp Meade complex, US Rt 2 (Exit 9 off I-89), Middlesex, VT 05602
Price: $ FREE!
What the heck is this, you ask? Well, it's Nutty Steph's Annual Free Community Circus for Middlesex folks - actually for just about anybody around, whether they're from Middlesex or not. So, then yer wonderin', who the heck is Nutty Steph? Well, she'd be the gal that makes the great VT granola & "chocolate pleasures" right there at ol' Camp Meade on US Rt 2 in Middlesex. Any, yeah, it's nutty alright! Plus she's nuts over us boys, that's why she invited us to join in the fun this year! So what is this whole shebang anyway? Well, Nutty Steph's, along with the Red Hen Bakery & Cafe (one of the finest bread bakeries around) and Mudd Pottery Gallery have been puttin' on this party at their complex there at "Camp Meade" in Middlesex as a "gift back" to all the residents. Now, that's pretty cool! An' if yer wonderin' what Camp Meade is...well, for many years it was one of the ol' "motor courts" around the state; then a campground an' it had a military theme (with alot of ol' military vehicles, etc) for awhile. Now, it houses Nutty Steph's, Red Hen an' Mudd Pottery. They've really turned the ol' place inta somethin. O.K., well, this FREE party will feature grass-fed beef hot dogs on sourdough buns with local sauerkraut, a beer garden (with organic red & white wines, plus Trapp Brewery Heller Lager - now we're talkin'!), face paintin' for the kids, horse-drawn carriage rides, jugglin', alpacas an' an auction of decorative outdoor benches. An' NEW THIS YEAR....THE STARLINE RHYTHM BOYS! So, anyway, this will be a fun one an' a nice Thursday event. Hope y'all can make it cause this circus is gonna have some honky-tonk an' rockin' billy music, too!

Price: $ 10 per person at the door
This will be our 3rd appearance at the wonderful Brookfield Town Hall (with the great painted backdrop stage curtain that can be seen behind us in that photo of us on the inside of the "Red's Place" CD tray card). We've had a couple of good times down there. Great old-style town hall with a big dance floor. So hope to see all you locals and, esp. dance fans, out for this one. There's apparently alot goin' on this weekend (includin' the Growing Local Fest in Montpelier that we'll be appearin' at from 2:30 - 3:30), but, trust us, this is defintely one to make if you like honky-tonk, old-school country, rockabilly an' hittin' the hardwood (dance floor). Geez, if yer goin' to the Growing Local Fest, it ends at 7pm so you got plenty of time ta drive on down ta Brookfield an' party down with us into the nite! BTW - this gig is a benefit for the Town Hall, which they have restored, but are continuin' ta work on.
