Summer-Long 'Used Art' Treasure Hunt
Do you love to yard sale? Or want a reason to try it? This event is for you!
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to spend summer scavenging through boot, estate, garage, jumble, moving, rummage, tag, & yard sales; bazaars; flea markets; swap meets; whole-house cleanouts; etc to find the best work of art at the best price. Both "best"s are subjective. Then, when summer has ended, we'll hold a little art opening & reception, where we hang our finds as an art show! All works must be displayed at the art show and may be bought, sold, or held (labeled: 'not for sale') as desired.
- FREE! But you must sign up in advance of hunting.
- Summer is hot: stay hydrated out there!
- Treasure hunt from 06/21/19 to 09/23/19.
NO PARTICIPATION WITHOUT ADVANCE REGISTRATION. SPACE IS LIMITED, BUT THERE'S STILL ROOM TO JOIN ON THE FLY RIGHT NOW, SO DON'T DELAY!

extempo @ Positive Pie, 69 Main St in Plainfield VT @ 8:00pm
Now in its 10th year, extempo is Vermont's premiere original live storytelling series.

Often about half the participants are veteran storytellers, and half are newcomers trying it for the first or second time. Sign up in advance to give it a try, or just come listen. Arrive early if you want a seat!
- $5 admission. Storytellers admitted FREE.
- Food & beverages available for purchase. (After 8pm: apps/small plates only.)
- Doors open @ 4:00. Stories from 8:00 to 10:00.
