Let's Talk About Death Cafe
2026-04-28 18:00 - 19:33 (America/New_York) | Moretown Town Hall and Library, 1147 Route 100B, Moretown, 05660
Many people do not want to talk about the fact that we live life until we die. These Cafes attempt to lighten the burden of death’s inevitability as we think about and share with others our medical, physical, emotional, and spiritual desires in our end of life journey.
Moretown’s first Let’s Talk About Death Cafe is a space for members of the community to listen and talk about all the pieces of preparing ourselves and our loved ones for their death journey. There is no set agenda. To be able and willing to share and listen to our wants, needs, questions, fears, hopes, and experiences around preparing for the natural end of life is a beautiful ,helpful time spent together. Community, community, COMMUNITY!
Tea and goodies will be served.
I look forward to hosting this community gathering.

ZERO CELSIUS takes place at Mad Arts and Sugarbush Resort, and gathers artists who explore the textures, tensions, and transformations of winter.
From the hush of frozen landscapes to the volatility of a warming climate, the exhibition reflects on how the cold season shapes—and is reshaped by—human and environmental relationships.
Bringing together sculpture, installation, sound, photography, and digital media, ZERO CELSIUS examines winter as material, concept, and metaphor: crystalline, fleeting, and ecologically vital. The exhibition invites visitors to consider the fragility of snow in a changing world, to reconnect with winter’s wonder and silence, and to share their own stories and memories of a season both timeless and increasingly imperiled.

MRV Chamber Short Term Rental Collaborative Meeting
2026-04-22 19:00 - 20:00 | MRV Chamber Welcome Center, 9 Route 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
Short-Term Rentals Are Here to Stay – Make Sure Your Voice Shapes the Future of the MRV Visitor Economy
Join the MRV Chamber’s new Short-Term Rental Collaborative to connect with fellow hosts, share perspectives, and help guide the Valley’s tourism future.

When: Wednesday April 22 at 7-8 pm
Where: MRV Chamber Welcome Center
In-Person & Remote Option
An Initial Informational Meeting
Over the past decade, the lodging landscape in the Mad River Valley has changed dramatically. Traditional inns, hotels, and lodges have gradually declined, while short-term rentals (STRs) now make up a significant portion of the Valley’s visitor bed base.
At the same time, municipalities are actively discussing housing pressures, STR regulations, and how to balance tourism with community needs. These shifts have created both opportunities and tensions, and it’s more important than ever that the STR sector engages constructively in shaping the Valley’s visitor economy.
The Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce is convening an initial meeting to begin building a collaborative table for dialogue and action.
Why This Conversation Matters
For decades, traditional lodging properties carried much of the responsibility for promoting the Valley as a visitor destination. STRs are now an established and growing part of that lodging mix — a fact of life in today’s tourism economy.
As STRs continue to grow, it is vital that this sector pulls its weight in promoting the Valley, helping share the responsibility for sustaining the visitor economy and supporting local businesses that depend on tourism.
Local municipalities are also paying close attention to housing, STR regulations, and community impacts. The most effective way for STR owners and dependent businesses to have a voice in these discussions is to organize, communicate openly, and engage collaboratively. Participating now ensures your perspectives help shape the future.
Learn more about the STR issue in the MRV – the Mad River Valley Planning District created a Short Term Rentals in the MRV White Paper. Created in 2021 it is somewhat dated but the most pertinent facts remain generally unchanged.

Turn the Frasco show into a long weekend with rooms starting at $207 and a FREE night.Sugarbush’s annual celebration of sunshine and the return of warm temps steps it up a few notches this spring with Andy Frasco & the U.N. headlining the stage at the Lincoln Peak Courtyard.With curly tufts of a recognizable ‘fro peeking out from his omnipresent knit cap, Andy Frasco is a cross between John Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake Blues and Jimmy Buffett. He’s a band-fronting, songwriting party animal who turns into a swirling rock ‘n’ roll Tasmanian Devil onstage leading his U.N., not unlike Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. From switching instruments mid-song to Frasco stagediving into the crowd or kibitzing with them, Andy Frasco & The U.N. show is a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance where “You do You” and “let us do us.”New music alert from Andy Frasco! His new single “DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!”The band has grown from playing bars to touring more than 250 days a year all over the country, with Frasco describing that 15-year journey on Growing Pains, the group’s landmark 10th studio album and first full-length effort since 2023’sL’Optimist, showcasing Andy’s growth as a tunesmith in his own right.Produced by Frasco himself for the first time, the collection’s centerpiece is the anthemic “Try Not to Die,” a glass half-full anthem to seizing the day that combines country twang with an easy island breeze in its affirmative message.“Life is Easy,” featuring bluegrass superstar Billy Strings, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country and co-writer/frequent collaborators Steve Poltz (Rugburns, Jewel) and Chris Gelbuda (Meghan Trainor), is a folk protest anthem. “Swinging for the Fences,” featuring cameos by G. Love and Eric Krasno (Lettuce, Tedeschi Trucks Band Soulive), is a Motown-flavored paean to dating someone out of your league. The playful “They Call Me Hollywood (But I’m from LA),” co-written with frequent partner Kenny Carkeet, features rapper ProbCause, while the title track is a sing-song, hip-hop-influenced rhyme about embracing change and taking it day-to-day.Frasco wrote most of Growing Pains in Nashville with his longtime guitarist Shawn Eckels and frequent songwriting partners Chris Gelbuda, Steve Poltz, and Andrew Cooney.“I came into this life wanting to write songs,” said Frasco. “It took 15 years, but I feel I’m starting to get credit for it. My cup is full. I’m really starting to see my dreams come true.”Andy Frasco & the U.N. to take the stage in the Lincoln Peak Courtyard at 2:30PM. The Grift to open at 12:30PM.

Historic Preservation: Meaning, Memory, and Stewardship
Community Preservation Projects with Ben Doyle, Preservation Trust of VT
Preserving a community’s historic buildings is a way to preserve its future. The Preservation Trust of Vermont is a nonprofit organization that, for nearly 50 years, has helped Vermonters save the historically and culturally significant buildings they love — whether that’s a general store, a jewel-box theater, or a humble barn. We do this work through technical assistance, grant funding, and steady encouragement. This presentation will provide an overview of our work and highlight some of the key considerations when undertaking community-based historic preservation projects.
This talk is presented as part of our Spring 2026 Speaker Series. All talks are free and open to the public, and take place Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 8 pm. No registration required, just drop by. Join us in person or online via livestream on our YouTube channel.
