CHESTER, Vt. — The 16th Annual Music in the Meadow will take place on Saturday, June 30 at the Motel in the Meadow on VT-11 in Chester. Organizer Pat Budnick and her volunteers invite all to attend from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. for “a day of fabulous music from local performers, fun and games for children, a horseshoe tournament, and of course great barbecued food and ice cream.” Suggested donation for entry will be $5.
Music in the Meadow’s 2018 line-up will includes Green Mountain Express, Ben Fuller, Heartfire, Brendon Thomas, The Illusion, Totally Submerged, The Imperfectionists and Intercept. The music will start at noon Saturday.
This one-day live music event for the community continues to benefit the Komen Vermont Race for the Cure, hosted by Susan G. Komen New England. This year’s Vermont Race event will be Saturday, July 21. For race registration information, visit www.komennewengland.org.
Over the past 15 years, with the assistance of area merchants and friends, Music in the Meadow has been able to donate nearly $68,000 to the Vermont Race for the Cure, Budnick said.
Donations are currently being sought for the Music in the Meadow Silent Auction and the always-successful raffle, all according to the press release. The silent auction will take place throughout Saturday, and the raffle prizes will be drawn on Saturday late afternoon, prior to the close of the concert. The raffle’s Grand Prize will be a handmade queen-size quilt.
Budnick said that corporate and small business gifts are welcome too, and these will receive special recognition at the event.
