Last weekend's British Invasion complete with British Block Party on Main Street and Beatles tribute band British Mania (how many times can you say "British" in one sentence??) was a huuuuuuge success, but the Brits have exited left and the Germans have entered right. (that may not be politically correct, but I'm a little weary of politics).
Stowe's Oktoberfest kicks off tomorrow and is the place to be in Stowe. Beer, 'wurst, oompah bands, dancing and "prousting!"and all for a great cause: Stowe Rotary. If you are a Rotarian, if you know a Rotarian, if you've ever benefited from the philanthropy of Rotary, you should be there. That would be most of the planet, btw. And if that guilt trip didn't get ya, this might. Desserts are provided by Trapp Family Lodge's esteemed pastry chef Marshall Faye. LINZERTORTE!
On a completely unrelated note--well, not really, 'cause you can't hoist the stein ad finitum:
I saw Stowe Theatre Guild's PRONOUNCING GLENN opening night, and laughed out loud a ridiculous number of times. In fact I guffawed and was completely entertained by this enormously gifted cast. This is a comedy (obviously…) written and directed by Carole Vasta Folley, who is originally from Hyde Park, VT and cut her teeth on the stage at the Hyde Park Opera House for the Lamoille County Players. (This 50-or so year-old community theatre organizationis presenting, appropriately enough in this election year, the musical 1776). Carole, who has directed and performed at the Stowe Town Hall Theatre, also acts in PRONOUNCING GLENN. This is an astonishing accomplishment for an artist, worthy of the support of all of us who support the performing arts. If you don't hoot, check your pulse. We all need a belly laugh these days…
