Joining Us This Year ....

Nickie Calhoun

Nickie  grew up in a small Appalachia town alongside the James River in Virginia. Much of the solace found in nature as a child, along the sinking creeks and winding roads, influence the songs she has written and the music of others she is drawn to learn.  Her vocals will calm and sooth you while she is lingering in the eerie tones of her guitar.   Her music is not complicated, but it's complex. It's simple and it's enough.
Simplicity that Resonates Fully. 
Listen to her song "Take Me Away" here:

Sage Mntnwlkr is a musician from the North East who loves drone, folk and heavier music and mixes all his influences to jam out epic soundscapes. You might hear some throat and overtone singing, finger pickin', and some powerful riffs. His music is influenced by the DIY music scenes he's been a part of all down the east coast, his enthusiasm for hiking and backpacking, and all the cool people and bands he's met along the way. Come drone out to a meditative set that is ever-evolving.

Outside in the Surrounding Landscape

And Food Vendors Too!
We always have a great variety of vendors.  Check them out  on our Facebook event page!
2021 RECAP:  June 19, 2021 was a great day with 65 participating vendors!  We enjoyed fair weather until a windstorm caused some afternoon turmoil, but all in all a fantastic festival once again!  Entertainment was provided by Jacob Green, James VanDeuson and Jamie Carey on the pond-side gazebo, and food vendors served barbeque items, hot dogs, lemonade, kettle corn, shaved ice and baked goods.  Thanks to all that came to participate and enjoy! 
2020 RECAP:
We had to postpone to August 15, 2020 this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This also brought new adjustments to the festival, with social distancing, mask wearing and sanitary protocols in place.  We succeeded nonetheless, drawing a similar guest count to the year prior.  Attendees enjoyed gorgeous summer weather, fewer bugs than usual and an amazing array of 33 arts & crafts vendors from all over New England, as well as barbequed foods from Smokin' Rednecks and wood-fired pizza from Bruno's.  Singer-songwriters: Kyle Haley, Morgan Clark, Mario Marquis and Mindy Rosenberg, provided musical entertainment throughout the day on the pond-side gazebo.  Another great festival in the books!

2019 RECAP:
The weather cooperated, bringing us a beautiful day for the 3rd Annual festival on May 25, 2019!  Even the bugs managed to stay away, making it a comfortable day filled with waterside music by talented female musicians "Springtime Songbirds".  We had a wide array of over 40 high quality vendors featuring their handmade/homemade art, crafts, food and products.  The guest count was close to 700 adults (plus children) this time, growing steadily each year! (Photos courtesty of Wes Lavin.)
2017 RECAP:  
​We had a great turnout of over 700 people over two days on Memorial Day Weekend in 2017, which we were thrilled with for our first year!  The weather was super and people enjoyed their time checking out over 40 artisan vendors selling all types of handcrafted and homemade products, along with demonstrations of their craft.  Food vendors sold breakfast sandwiches made with farm fresh eggs, homemade donuts, wood-fired pizza, local organic salads, hand cut French fries, kettle corn, beverages, snacks & more!  Eight live music performances took place throughout the weekend in a most beautiful setting, as well as three arts & crafts workshops.  An art exhibit was held in our brand new 40 x 80 foot post and beam pavilion on the shores of our crystal clear pond.  All in all, a great first year!
2018 RECAP:
This year we decided to hold the festival for one day only, Saturday, May 26, 2018 on Memorial Day Weekend, which drew over 400 adult attendees as well as many children.  Despite rainy weather, the afternoon skies cleared and everyone had a great time!  Music was excellent, featuring live blues entertainment on the gazebo by Nathan Michaud, Jacob Green and The Roy-Hudson Acoustic Duo with WhiteWolf.  Food vendors served up wood-fired pizza, barbecued meats, homemade fries, Italian ice, muffins and more.  Over 40 vendors showcased their arts, crafts and locally produced foods for sale.
