SUMMARY:28th Annual North Bennington Halloween Parade
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of the year and the pandemic isn’t stopping the 28th Annual North Bennington Halloween Parade. Changing up the format this year to a “Stay In Your Car” Parade on Halloween day\, Saturday October 31st with a 4pm start time. Prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed vehicles\, cars\, trucks\, trailers\, and motorcycles and passengers\, so start your planning now. \nImportant note!! The parade route will be new this year. Starting at 3:30 participating vehicles will meet at Bennington College’s back parking lot near Greenwall Auditorium/VAPA\, entering through the Harlan Road entrance where volunteers will direct you to the parade line up. The parade will start at 4pm at the College’s old stone gate at the top of Prospect Street\, proceeding down into the Village\, turning right at Lincoln square-fountain\, continuing up Main Street to end at the Train Depot.  Due to current restrictions\, there will be no bonfire or gathering after the parade.  Costume prizes will be announced on VAE’s Facebook page and website on Monday morning. Although staying in your car is the safest bet for those in the parade\, we ask that parade spectators practice social distancing and please wear masks. If not wearing a mask as part of your costume\, grab some Sharpies and decorate your cloth or disposable mask. The judges will be on the look out for the best decorated “Covid” mask. \nThis year we are asking parade participants to make a donation of $10 – $20 per vehicle. This will greatly help VAE put on this free\, annual event during a particularly tough year for organizations. Donations will be collected on the way out through the stone columns of the College’s gate as we meander our way down into the Village. \nThe Bennington Traditional Jazz Bandwill play live music from Lincoln Square\, which will also be home base for the parade judges. Free grilled hot dogs\, courtesy of Powers Market\, will be distributed by members of the Norshaft Lions Club. Pangaea will be open and featuring coffee from Angelica and The Roasted Bean Espresso Bar as well as new treats from their patisserie. Plan on dinner to go or eat outside at Marigolds Pizza\, Kevins or Pangaea for a great local dinner out!

SUMMARY:Camp Danger at the VAE Studio\, Ages 8+\, August 5-9\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:This camp is sold out with a full wait list. \nBe prepared to get messy\, throw some paint around (literally) and work with the elements such as fire and water. This is the week we take more risks and explore being creative by challenging ourselves outside our usual comfort zones.  We’ll make knives\, spears\, fires\, learn to sharpen and care for tools and discover unchartered water.  A blacksmith forge will be set up for those who wish to bang some steel and create something . We’ll have visits from the State Police\, Bennington EMTs and the North Bennington Volunteer Fire Department…all invited of course! At the end of the week they’ll be a surprise involving a tree and a TV. \nInstructed by Matthew Perry\n10am-4pm\nAges 8+

SUMMARY:VAE presents A Powers After Hours concert featuring singer M'Balia and guitarist Thom Loubet
DESCRIPTION:Tickets; $20 in advance\, $25 at the door if not sold out \nDoors open at 6:30 for dinner for purchase.  Menu to follow.  Show starts at 8pm. \nPhiladelphia-based M’Balia is a singer who approaches jazz standards with a “fiercely individualistic style and a generous dollop of gospel grounding”\, and an “ace” songwriter with a caustic wit and piquant attitude born of lived experience. \nWhile M’Balia performs in jazz combos\, she also continues to perform as a solo singer-guitarist or as a duo with an additional guitarist or drummer. \nThom Loubet has played guitar with all sorts of crazy wonderful ensembles like Burnt Sugar\,  The Three Bean Stew Hip Hop Orchestra\, and Nu Afrika. In 2002\, along with 3 other musician friends\, they formed The Citizens\, an Avant-Rock band which has played the Basement Music Series twice before. He currently tours with the fantabulous Alice Smith and Tamar-Kali and recently was on the faculty at Bennington College. \nBuy Tickets
