Brandon is a great place to visit this fall

BRANDON — People from far and wide are getting to know Brandon for the many artists who live and work here. But the little town just down Route 7 from Middlebury has the artists and a lot more to offer a visitor this fall.

It all starts on Saturday, Sept. 19, when the Friends of Brandon Town Hall will sponsor a contra and square dance at the town hall. The dance will start at 8 p.m., after a family and beginner dance at 6:30 p.m.

Live music will be provided by Mud Season, featuring musicians Geordie Lynd on fiddle, Emery Hard on piano, Linda Quinn on upright bass and Mike Quinn on concertina. Mike Quinn will also call and teach the dances.

No experience is necessary, as all dances will be taught. All are welcome. Admission is $6 per person or $20 per family.

For more information, go to www.friendsofbrandon.org or call Cathy Rawsonburger at 247-0279.

Learn about alpacas, raised for breeding as well as their luxurious fiber, at the Maple View Farm Alpacas Fall Open House on Sept. 26 and 27. See carding and spinning demonstrations or browse the farm store; it’s all located at 185 Adams Road, 2.5 miles north of Brandon village. The open house will repeat on Nov. 28-29.

It will definitely feel like autumn on Oct. 3 when the town hosts the annual Brandon HarvestFest. Come make Harvest People (a.k.a. stick figures, scarecrows, leaf people, etc.) with the experts. You can even take one home!

There will be hayrides, apple pies, pumpkins, barbecue and the Brandon Town Band. It starts at 10 a.m. in Central Park.

That evening at 7 p.m., Brandon Music hosts the Mark Harding Trio playing Beatles tunes with a classical music flair.

Mark Harding, a British musician now well known in Vermont, will present a chamber music tribute to the Beatles, arranged for flute, violin, classical guitar and occasionally double bass.

Tickets are available from Brandon Music for $15 including a glass of wine or a soft drink. The concert will be held in the Harmony Tea Room, at 62 Country Club Road (across from Neshobe Golf Course on Route 73 East).

The following day, Oct. 4, crowds will gather on Route 73 along Otter Creek to watch the 27th Annual Great Otter Valley Raft Race. Beginning at 1 p.m., students from grades 5 to 12

at Neshobe Elementary School and Otter Valley Union High School will compete to the end on homemade rafts. Not many of the contestants are dry at the end.

The Brandon Farmers Market ends its season on Oct. 10 with a craft fair, demonstrations and much more in Central Park. The event runs from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

And let’s not forget the artists.

Thousands of people have seen and commented on the many large stars around the village of Brandon. And as popular as these stars are, they are not the featured items in the Oct. 10 Brandon Artists’ Guild Auction.

Until now those two-dozen auction works of art have been inside various merchants’ shops and in the windows of the Smith Block. But now, in preparation for the auction, this galaxy of stars has been moved to the guild’s gallery so that visitors and potential bidders can see them all at once and all in one place.

This year, to mark the occasion of the guild’s 10th anniversary, the artists were encouraged to let their imaginations run wild, take an independent approach and design a work in their own favorite medium. The results range from oil and acrylic paintings, to ceramics, metal sculpture, transfigured photography, art glass, furniture and even a one-of-a-kind stereopticon. In keeping with the “Starring Brandon� theme, each one incorporates a star in one form or another.

These shining examples of the breadth and range Brandon’s art community will soon star in the auction to be held Oct. 10 in the Brandon Town Hall. A preview starts at 5:30 p.m. with the auction action commencing at 7 p.m. People who cannot make the auction are encouraged to make use of “left bid� forms available at the gallery so that everyone has an opportunity to take home one of these unique works of art.

Those large stars that have delighted so many people are also up for sale, but rather than being traditionally auctioned off, these are available through a silent-auction approach, where those interested can fill out a form to place their best bid in advance. Members of Brandon’s art community have also contributed many prized works, which will be raffled in a drawing the night of the auction. Raffle tickets are available at the Brandon Artists’ Guild gallery, 7 Center St. The Ball and Chain CafÊ upstairs at the Briggs Carriage Bookstore, located at 16 Park St., hosts lots of entertaining and thought-provoking events — from award-winning authors to contemporary and traditional music. Check out the calendar in the twice-a-week Addison Independent to see who’s scheduled to appear next.

On your stop in Brandon, look for more information on the history and current happenings at the Brandon Visitor Center, which just opened at the beginning of September. Housed in the historic Stephen A. Douglas birthplace, built in 1803, the visitor center is at the intersection of routes 7 and 73 West in the center of town.

Defining Tapas (and what we’re all about @ 51 Main) — Tapas is the name of a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine.

They may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or warm (such as pentillitas, which are battered, fried baby squid).In North America and the United Kingdom, tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine where patrons can order many different tapas and combine them to make a full meal.

The serving of tapas is designed to encourage conversation because people are not so focused upon eating an entire meal that is set before them. Also, in some countries it is customary for diners to stand and move about while eating tapas.
