During Gallery Walk on Friday, January 8 (5:30-8:30 p.m.), Strolling of the Heifers invites the public to meet representatives of more than two dozen area non-profits at the River Garden in downtown Brattleboro.
At the event, which is called “Get the Word Out,” visitors can learn about what the organizations do, how to obtain services from them, how to participate in their programs, and how to volunteer. In addition, VT Dinners a startup company making frozen meals using locally grown ingredients, will offer tastings of their products, and the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus will entertain.
The Stroll’s art gallery, Gallery at the Garden, will be open as well, with a re-installation of the exhibit “Windham Grows,” which consists of photographic works by John Nopper and Jeffrey Lewis, depicting past winners of the Windham Regional Business Planning Competition sponsored by Strolling of the Heifers and Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation, along with interviews with the subjects by Elizabeth Stoumen.
