Sometimes you just want to ask something. Bring or pour a cup of your favorite warm beverage\, and join me at the Mad River Valley Welcome Center. Come as you are. All are welcome. And every question counts—simple\, complex\, or somewhere in between.  It’s a relaxed\, open conversation about money\, planning\, and whatever’s on your mind. Kassie Reid from Greenhill Financial Planners will be on hand to chat. \nEach quarter we’ll have a different theme to get the conversation going; \n\n\nMarch: A Fresh StartPour a cup and bring your thoughts and curiosities. The start of the year is a natural time to evaluate your goals and priorities\, capture momentum\, and plan for the year ahead. This space is designed to welcome everyone\, whether your questions feel simple\, complicated\, or somewhere in between. It’s a relaxed\, open conversation about money\, planning\, and whatever’s on your mind. \n\n\nMay: Summer PauseLonger days and shifting routines can make this time of year feel both energizing and full\, so before summer sweeps you away\, take a moment to pause. Bring whatever’s on your mind—upcoming plans\, changing expenses\, or simply a question you’ve been meaning to ask. This is a relaxed\, welcoming space to reflect\, recalibrate\, and talk through money decisions in a way that feels grounded and practical. Come as you are and join the conversation. \n\n\nAugust: Fall TransitionsAs the seasons shift\, so do routines and priorities. Settle in with something warm and join an open conversation about what this transition might bring—new schedules\, business cycles\, evolving goals\, or unexpected change. We could explore how these shifts connect to your financial life\, from cash flow to longer-term direction\, or wherever the discussion naturally leads. Bring your questions and curiosity. \n\n\nNovember: Year’s EndAs the year winds down\, it’s a natural time to reflect on what’s unfolded and consider what comes next. Gather your thoughts and join the conversation around year-end considerations—from giving and tax planning to tying up loose ends or preparing for January. This is a supportive place to organize your reflections\, acknowledge progress\, and make intentional decisions before the calendar turns. Wherever you’re at\, you’re welcome at the table.

Come visit the wonderful artists at the cabin studios in our Arts Village: \nAlyssa DeLa Bruere Art Gallery & Studio\, Kurt Budliger Photography Gallery & Studio\, Painted Iris\, Tabbatha Henry Designs\, and Analog Works. \nOpen Studio Weekend is a statewide celebration of the visual arts and creative process\, offering a unique opportunity for visitors to meet a variety of artists and craftspeople in their studios\, some of whom are only open to the public during this event. Those who experience Open Studio gain an appreciation for the creative process and the role that artists and craftspeople play in the vitality of Vermont’s communities. Participating small galleries and art centers show the work of local artists. \nTwice a year the self-guided tour features both long time participants and those new to the tour\, giving faithful Open Studio visitors new destinations. The studio tour brings visitors to historic Vermont villages and along back roads with spectacular vistas. \nMartha Fitch\, the director of the Vermont Crafts Council that organizes the event\, says the allure of the Open Studio tour is that “it takes you through small towns and backroads\, with the yellow Open Studio signs and the Vermont Studio Tour map easily guiding visitors to the studio location.” This year’s tour includes the work of glassblowers\, jewelers\, printmakers\, potters\, furniture makers\, weavers\, metal workers\, painters\, sculptors\, and fiber artists working with silk and felt. \nThe free Vermont Studio Tour booklet contains maps and directions. The maps\, along with the yellow wayfinder signs placed along the roads\, guide visitors to arts sites. Pick up a tour guide from any participating artist\, gallery\, or art center\, or download a pdf on the VT Crafts Council website.
