Village Stroll Press Release, September 22nd


So many people, locals and visitors alike, have been enjoying the opportunity to stroll Wilmington’s downtown on a Saturday evening; we’ve decided to kick off the fall season with a Village Stroll. The next Stroll is Saturday, September 22nd, from 5:00pm-8:00pm. This Stroll will feature the beloved African Drummers from Brattleboro, providing entertainment for the whole family at 5:00 sharp, on the library lawn. For those “Wizard of Oz” fans, meet Gregory Maguire, author of “Wicked” at Bartleby’s Books.
We now have five art galleries in town, all of which will be open. Especially be sure to meet Andy Newman, artist of “Abstract Thoughts” at Gallery Wright, and stop by Ann Coleman’s Gallery for her grand opening. In addition, you will find demos on silversmithing at Olaf’s, and cornhusk dolls at the Historical Society. There will be wine tasting at Pickwell’s, a circus lawn for the kids, and some very talented local musicians throughout the Village. We’ll end the evening with a slide show at Memorial Hall from all the Bears in the Valley events. If it rains, no problem, everything will just move inside, or onto covered porches. The leaves will just be starting to change so we encourage you to “Bring on the Colors” by dressing in your fall colors. Nothing to wear? Manyu’s Boutique will be open late! Bring you friends and c’mon down. For more info contact the Mount Snow Chamber of Commerce 464-8092.

Wear Your Strolling Hats…
For Immediate Release

June 25, 2007 – Wilmington, VT - Everybody had so much fun at the May Village Stroll that it’s turning into a regular event! Missed the last one? Here’s what the strolls are all about: An opportunity to shop, eat, play, listen to outdoor music and celebrate in our charming Vermont village on a Saturday evening. In downtown Wilmington, you’ll find shops and restaurants open; music throughout the village, games and riddles, fun for the kids, and always a few surprises. There will be a different theme for each stroll, so plan on coming to them all. On Saturday, July 14th we are encouraging everyone to “Wear his or her strolling hats.” Your hat may even win you a prize.
The Village Stroll has teamed up with the Moover to help increase Village parking. Please consider parking on School Street at Twin Valley High School and take the free shuttle into town. If you get there between 5:00 & 6:00 you are in for a real treat. Andrew Palumbo and his amazing drummers will be there to entertain. We have an all-new Bear Hunt that involves solving riddles related to all the big bears in the Village. If you are looking for more baby bears, every shop will have one and if you find one you like, place a bid and it could be yours.
There will be giveaways, wine tastings, concerts, art exhibits, street performers, shopping, and of course, the bears. So find a hat and c’mon down. For more info call the Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce 464-8092, go to www.bearsinthevalley.org, or look for our Stroll programs in area shops. If you have a talent, and you would like to be a “street performer” at any of our upcoming strolls, give us a call at the Chamber at 464-8092. Village Strolls will be held from 5-8pm on Saturdays: July 14th , August 11th, September 22nd and December 8th.
