Item Description

Let's Dance in support of Catamount Arts!

Featuring Tritium Well and Whirligig Brewing at Whitehill Farm in East Ryegate, VT.

Date to be determined, during the summer of 2023. 

Plan a safe gathering next summer on the hilltop Whitehill Farm. This is a COVID safe event. There is plenty of space to social distance. 

Grab your dancing shoes and party down while listening to Tritium Well and drinking a Whirligig Brewing beer with your besties!

This event will be held at Whitehill Farm, located in the southernmost point of the Northeast Kingdom. The Farm was a traditional dairy farm and they continue to pasture heifers to this day. The homestead continues to maintain 40 acres, most of which are pasture, but there is a 3-acre parcel of cedars and five acres of sugar maples that are tapped each year. There are outstanding views from the top of this traditionally rugged property where the dance party will take place while taking in the view of the White Mountains and the Connecticut River. The property also has a small stream and a neighboring farmyard pond

Tritium Well - Linda Warnaar, Bobby Farlice-Rubio, Kevin Colosa, and Nicolas Anzalone - the rocking and irradiating band from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont since 2010. They are the band that makes you want to dance. Their eclectic mix of originals, traditional American, Cuban, reggae, rock, funk, and blues produces ecstatic musical experiences that feel like sonic excursions around the Earth! 

Whirligig Brewing of St. Johnsbury has donated a keg to this event. The Brewery offers a line of artisanal beers with a focus on sours, farmhouse ales, and barrel-aged beers that utilize local microflora, fruits, grains, and hops as much as possible.

 Testimonial from last year's winning bidder, Scott Campbell: 

Heather and Nick's farm is amazing and we had a fabulous time! The view overlooks a valley and may be even better than the view from Dog Mountain. They had it mowed -- twice -- ahead of time, worked with us to get the tent and portapotty situated, and had plenty of signs up to help with parking, recycling and trash.

Nick of course also played great music with the band, Tritium Well (including Bobby Farlice-Rubio, Linda Warnaar, and Kevin Colosa). Geoff Sewake provided beer from Whirligig. People brought potluck.

It was a party in honor of Mary's and my 60th and 70th birthdays, so it was an appropriately funky "60s and 70s" scene.

Can't recommend it enough. Bid high, bid often!
