From the first of August to mid-October, so many of you came to support live music in our amazing town of Shrewsbury, Vermont.
We were able, collectively, to help support musicians whose livelihood has been incredibly altered by the pandemic, and to offer something to look forward to at each concert...terrific musicianship, dancing, beautiful children, great community spirit, pods of people smiling (otherwise masked), cute well behaved dogs, being outside in wonderful weather, the backdrop of our beautiful MeetingHouse and the surrounding mountains, camaraderie, kindness, responsibility and respect toward each other and keeping each other healthy. Not having much of a clue how this would go in the beginning, I couldn't be more fortunate to have realized all the blessings that would come of our concert series.
I thank you all for helping to make this possible.
