Following the sauna session, settle into a one-hour sound bath with Bridget Stone. Immersive therapeutic sound frequencies deepen the relaxation that naturally follows contrast therapy, creating space for restoration and integration.
Together, heat, cold, and sound offer a simple but powerful sequence: activate, regulate, restore.

Public Tours of Vermont Village at Back River Road
2026-06-27 | Back River Road, 194 Chelsea Street, South Royalton, Vermont, 05068, United States
“Vermont Village: A Conversation between Art, Water and the Land” is a singular artist-built environment that Ed Levine sited outdoors on Back River Road’s South Royalton property.
Deeply inspired by nineteenth-century author Henry David Thoreau, whose existential engagement with nature resulted in the book “Walden; or, Life in the Woods”, Levine spent three decades building a collection of eclectic wood structures throughout the steep and wooded property. The structures, which blur the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, explore different aspects of humanity’s relationship to nature and reflect the vernacular architecture of rural Vermont.
A limited number of tours of Vermont Village are FREE and open to the public by reservation on select weekends in June, August, and September.

Waitsfield’s General Wait House Commission wants to know what community members feel is the highest and best use of the General Wait carriage and dairy barn.

Ideas should consider…
Community benefit: Who will use the space and how often?
Historic preservation: How would the idea protect the buildings’ historic character?
Feasibility: What level of renovation, equipment, or staffing might be needed?
Seasonality and access: Is the use three-season or year-round?
What accessibility needs should be considered?
Financial sustainability: Can the concept be supported through rentals, grants, partnerships, or earned revenue?
Compatibility: How will the use work with existing activity on the property?
Have a great idea, but can’t make the event? Submit community comments by June 24. Comments can be emailed to annmarie@madriver.com or mailed to the commission (Town of Waitsfield, GWH Commission, 4144 Main Street, Waitsfield, VT 05673).

MRV Chamber & VT Lodging Assn. Joint Mixer
2026-06-17 17:30 - 19:30 | Hyde Away Inn, 1428 Millbrook Rd (VT 17), Waitsfield, 05673
A First for the Valley: MRV Chamber and Vermont Lodging Association Host Joint Mixer at the Hyde Away
The Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the Vermont Lodging Association (VLA): a joint regional mixer bringing together lodging professionals, Chamber members, and tourism partners from across the state.
The event will take place on Wednesday, June 17, from 5–7 p.m. at the Hyde Away Inn & Tavern in Waitsfield.
This gathering marks an important moment for the Mad River Valley business community. In recent years, the MRV Chamber’s advocacy work—particularly in the lodging and tourism sector—has gained increasing attention at the state level. Legislative efforts and ongoing engagement from our members have helped elevate the Valley’s voice in conversations about Vermont’s visitor economy.
The Vermont Lodging Association’s decision to co-host this event is a meaningful acknowledgment of that work and of the strength of the MRV Chamber as a convening organization. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with VLA and to welcome colleagues from across Vermont to the Valley.
At the center of this collaboration is the Mad River Valley lodging community itself—one of the most active and engaged sectors of our local economy. From innkeepers and property managers to hospitality professionals and year-round operators, this group continues to play a leading role in shaping both the visitor experience and the policy conversations that impact it.
We are especially pleased to be hosting this event at the Hyde Away Inn & Tavern, a long-standing Valley institution nestled at the foot of Sugarbush and Mad River Glen. Since 1949, the Hyde Away has been a gathering place for skiers, locals, and travelers alike, known for its warmth, history, and iconic tavern atmosphere.
The event is being hosted by Hyde Away Property Manager Jean Wry, who also serves on the MRV Chamber Board of Directors. Jean has been a tireless advocate for the Mad River Valley, consistently promoting the region and strengthening connections within the hospitality community. This mixer represents a fitting moment of recognition for her leadership and for the broader work of the Valley’s lodging community.
In addition to an evening of connection and conversation, the event will include updates from both organizations and opportunities to share ideas, challenges, and successes across the state’s hospitality network.
For VLA members who would like to extend their stay, the Hyde Away is offering a 15% discounted room rate. Reservations can be made by calling 802-496-2322 ext. 2 and using the code VLA.
We are thrilled to welcome the Vermont Lodging Association to the Mad River Valley and look forward to a lively and meaningful evening of collaboration as we head into the summer season.

June’s selections will be “A Temporary Matter” and “Hell-Heaven” by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri. Lahiri is known for her bittersweet explorations of love, family, and identity among immigrants and cultural transplants.

Premiere Wind Power Vermont Leads the Way Documentary
2026-06-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Big Picture Theater, 44 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, 05673
A little known story is that of the Smith-Putnam Wind Turbine built on Grandpa’s Knob near Castleton, Vermont in 1941. This was first megawatt wind turbine in the world to be connected to a utility company. The turbine ran on and off between 1941 and 1945 and it took the US over thirty years to achieve this amazing feat again.
Local film maker Ian Sweet and wind expert Dan Reicher tell the story of the Smith-Putnam Wind Turbine and how it influenced the future.

WIND POWER
It is relatively unknown that in 1941 in Vermont, the first megawatt-size wind turbine on Grandpa’s Knob, was connected to the local electrical grid. The 1.25-MW Smith-Putnam wind turbine is erected in Castletown, Vermont. Incredibly, it took over 40 years before this feat was once again accomplished. The documentary focuses on how this came about, those involved, how the turbine was developed and built, and its impact on the future of power producing wind turbines

Silhouettes by Deborah O'Connor.
2026-06-13 10:00 - 2026-06-14 14:00 | The Warren Store, 284 Main Street, Warren, VT, 05674, United States
The silhouette was displaced as the most popular form of portraiture by the invention of the camera around 1835. But a camera has never captured the “essence” of a person in the almost magical way that a silhouette does. Discover for yourself why parents today still seek out the few existing artists who practice this almost extinct art.
All ages are welcome
It’s amazing to watch as the silhouettes are cut freehand, using paper and scissors as the only tool. In five minutes or less, a profile portrait is created in exacting detail! Multiple layers of paper can be cut at once, producing extra copies which sell for half price. These make great gifts for grandparents. The “original” silhouette is $ 30. Classic oval frames will be available starting at $20. Silhouettes can be framed individually or grouped. The artist, Deborah O’Connor has been cutting silhouettes for fifty years. A Rhode Island native, she has worked primarily in New England but as far away as Tokyo, Disneyland, Hawaii, and various other states.
