Former board member Mac Rood and his wife Bobbi bought the property in 2020\, and were recognized by the Vermont Preservation Trust in 2026 for their restoration.

No registration required\, just drop by. Join us in person or online via livestream on our YouTube channel (youtube.com/yestermorrow).

In addition to many end-of-school year activities\, travel and school breaks\, June 1 marked the beginning of Atlantic hurricane season ─ a reminder that severe weather can also quickly disrupt the ability to donate in affected areas and potentially delay or cancel blood drives. \nPower Red: A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg\, B Neg\, or O blood. \n\n\nBlood: The most common type of donation\, during which approximately a pint of ‘whole blood’ is given. This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour.\n\nLearn More About Different Types of Donations URL:https://madrivervalley.com/event/red-cross-blood-drive-at-cabot-creamery/2026-10-28/ CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://madrivervalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/AmericanRedCross-BloodDrive.jpg.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261028T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261028T200000 DTSTAMP:20261031T054505 CREATED:20260928T064508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261009T064511Z UID:10056387-1793188800-1793217600@madrivervalley.com SUMMARY:Wing Wednesdays and Game Night DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nEvery Wednesday come to Lawson’s Finest Liquids for some big time flavor: our Buffalo Chicken Wings!

Blend your own custom fragrance in our greenhouse with Bloom Lab Perfumerie while we share the folklore behind the herbs\, flowers\, and resins once used in spells and potions. \nWe’ll explore fragrance notes and learn how different aromas come together to create a balanced blend. Along the way\, we’ll share the lore and legends behind the botanicals themselves: the herbs tucked under pillows to keep nightmares away\, the blooms said to stir love\, the resins burned for protection\, and the roots whispered about in old apothecary tales. Then you’ll experiment with a variety of scents and blend your own custom perfume to take home. Part potion\, part perfume\, entirely yours. \nNo experience necessary. Curiosity (and a touch of mischief) encouraged. \nAll aromatic and carrier ingredients are 100% natural and contain 0% synthetic ingredients. \nYour ticket includes the workshop experience and everything you need to create your own custom perfume.
