Wherever you may be, spend your summer scavenging through estate, garage, moving, rummage, tag, & yard sales; flea markets; roadside free piles; swap meets; whole-house cleanouts; etc to find the best work of art at the best price. (Both "best"s are subjective.) After summer's over, art is exhibited in a cohesive show at Espresso Bueno in Barre VT. You may offer your piece for sale there, or you may always keep what you found. S.L.U.A.T.H. is an engrossing challenge culminating in a radical crowdsourced artshow with a ton of community engagement!
Bring a newspaper or that magazine you’ve been meaning to get to...or choose from one of the periodicals on the rack at the club. In the first hour, find an article to READ thoroughly, in full, from start to finish, quietly to yourself, (even take notes if you like). In the second hour, you may continue to read quietly, or—for those interested—TALK about what you've read (in brief 'book report' style), LISTEN to others do the same, & maybe walk away an 'instant expert'! Come build community through CIVIL DISCUSSION in this lovely third space.

In its nearly 50-year history, nothing has ever canceled this event: Not snowstorms, not bare ground, not pandemics. Bring things to snack on & sip on, and a shot of brandy is offered to adults at the summit. Young children, dogs, & the person lugging the brandy all routinely summit, but people go at their own pace, as far as they like, & turn around when they like: You do not have to go all the way to the top (unless you really want the brandy). If you wear snow pants, you can slide down on the descent here & there, which is great fun!
