Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce

The Silent Type
2026-06-05 13:00 - 2026-08-27 17:00 (America/New_York) | Mad River Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street #2 Village Square, Waitsfield, 05673
The Silent Type
June 5 – August 27 Reception: June 5, 5:30–7:00 PM
This summer, The Silent Type brings together artists and designers whose work explores the intersection of visual design, natural systems, and human culture. On view from June 5 through August 27, the exhibition examines how patterns, structures, and processes found in nature are translated into typography, sculpture, projection, materials, and spatial interventions.
Through layered forms of communication—including text, image, and three-dimensional design—the exhibition invites viewers to consider how visual language shapes perception, behavior, and collective understanding. Both playful and intentional, the works reveal the quiet ways design mediates our relationship with the natural world and with one another.
Featured artists include Tina Christensen, Leslie Fry, Michael Jager, Susan Smereka, and Elise Whittemore.
An opening reception will be held on June 5 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The public is invited to attend and experience an exhibition that reflects on the subtle dialogue between nature, design, and contemporary life.

Friday Night Show: Morality Demonology at B&P
2026-07-10 19:00 - 2026-08-21 20:00 | Bread and Puppet Theater, 753 Heights Rd, Montreal, Vermont, Glover, United States
Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet will present an indoor performance each Friday this summer in the Paper Maché Cathedral. The show will premiere in June and continue to evolve over the course of the summer.
After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
Of the show, director Peter Schuman tells us that, “Puppeteers are in a state of high alert. The commanders-in-chief of reality are not only assassinating truth but have declared war on the innocent everything of the world. Morality demons claim divine origin, govern the population with unidentified power, and oppress shamelessly and unaccountably with history-honored illegality. Under and oversized puppets now battle the insufferable demons and the tricks of political mayhem. The world, unaware of its upside-down situation, must be confronted!”

The Mammals make music for a world that is forgetting how to listen. In their harmonies is a reminder that truth is rarely loud, that connection can be a form of resistance, and that art—when rooted in sincerity—can help us navigate even the most unsettled times. They offer not answers but companionship, a kind of melodic refuge where the heart can regather its strength.
Their newest release, Touch Grass Vol. 1 & 2, continues this work—songs rooted in land, kinship, and the urgent need to reconnect with the world beneath our feet. The albums feel like field notes from the heart: intimate, grounded, and offered in a spirit of repair.
Come listen and experience The Mammals LIVE @ afterthoughts.

Begin your weekend with a reset: a morning designed to support nervous system regulation and deep relaxation. We’ll begin with an hour of self-guided contrast therapy: enjoy the heat of the sauna between cold plunges in the natural swimming hole at Madbush Falls. Cycles of heat and cold stimulate circulation, release tension, and support the body’s natural recovery processes.
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.

Am I asleep or am I awake?
Am I a cockroach or am I a me?
Possibilitarians! We must demonstrate humanity’s upside-down situation in the face of the government’s depraved falsehoods. Luxury silence and despair must be replaced by revolt orchestras that radically oppose the radically wrong system.
It is time to unforget the revolution-in-progress and aim for the evermore on the universe’s shore.”

Monday Nights Theatre Co. presents: our place as nature: An Evening of Poetry
2026-07-19 17:00 - 18:30 | Crumb Factory, 114 River St., Montpelier, Vermont, 05602, United States
Presented by Monday Nights Theater Company (MNTC) and featuring poet Sarah Audsley
Join us for an evening of poetry hosted by poet Amy Beth Sisson and naturalist-garden designer Rose Fairley.
Given the dual existential crises of climate and biodiversity, what can poets and poetry teach us about being human and connecting as members of the natural world?
Sarah Audsley’s collection Landlock X (Texas Review Press) emerged from the landscape of Vermont as well as her identity as a trans-racial adoptee and both the flora and seasonality of Vermont are threaded throughout the collection.
In addition to Sarah’s oeuvre, actors from MNTC will perform works by poets such as Franny Choi, Louise Glück, Ross Gay, Amy Beth Sisson, Jacqueline Suskin and other poets that interrogate the complex relationship we have as/with “nature” at this moment in our species history.
OUR PLACE AS NATURE, IN POEMS is both a celebration of the wild in poetry as well as an acknowledgement of the precarious moment we are all living in. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged along with a $10 donation. Half of money donated will go towards the nascent native plant restoration nursery at the North Branch Nature Center and the other half to MNTC’s inaugural season!

Throughout the night, the gong is never silent. Held within a continuous field of coherent sound, each participant enters a different landscape. The cosmic power of the gongs will invite you on a journey that is uniquely yours. Some experience profound stillness, vivid dreams, or travel to otherworldly dimensions. Others encounter unexpected insight, emotional release, and expanded awareness. The gong can transmute darkness, stress, and anxiety, allowing you to release old wounds, fears, or negative patterns. Open the door to other realms, experience time as art, and find yourself centered in the cosmos! Transformation awaits …

Their music blends gritty riffs, melodic songwriting, and road-weary authenticity, earning praise for both its timeless feel and electrifying live performances. With influences ranging from The Rolling Stones and Muddy Waters to The Black Crowes and Gram Parsons, The Steepwater Band delivers a sound that is both familiar and distinctly their own, combining road-tested musicianship with the energy and spirit of rock.
Jaded Ravins is the Vermont-based Americana duo of Kelly Ravin and Halle Jade, who began performing together in 2017. Combining Kelly’s soulful, powerful vocals with Halle’s rich harmonies, the pair has drawn comparisons to a modern-day Johnny and June Carter Cash while crafting a sound that blends Americana, country rock, and roots music. Their songs have been praised for their heartfelt storytelling, gritty authenticity, and warm vocal chemistry, balancing driving country-rock energy with lush ambient washes. Performing everywhere from backcountry bars in New England to stages in Nashville, Jaded Ravins deliver passionate, engaging performances that connect deeply with the soul.
This energetic night of original music will take place at Afterthoughts in Waitsfield, at the corner of Rt 17 and Rt 100 and is presented by Mad River Distillers, Valley Meade Dispensary, and The 1824 House.

STAND UP FOR SAFETY WORKSHOPS
2026-08-05 10:00 - 11:00 | MRV Chamber Welcome Center, 9 Route 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
In the Mad River Valley, we believe that everyone — whether they live here, work here, or visit — deserves to feel safe. To support that vision the chamber’s is launching a new series of Stand Up for Safety workshops designed to help hospitality workers recognize and respond to situations that may threaten the safety or well-being of themselves, their co-workers, or their guests.
These interactive sessions will equip front-line staff with practical tools to:

Recognize signs of harm, harassment, or exploitation
Respond appropriately and safely when concerns arise
Connect individuals in need with the right support services

The workshops are approachable, hands-on, and rooted in real-world hospitality settings — from restaurants and inns to shops and recreation businesses. While the curriculum is still being finalized, the goal is clear: to ensure the Mad River Valley remains a safe and welcoming place for all. The workshops are organized and facilitated by Anna Nassset Consulting.
Upcoming Workshops will all take place at the MRV Chamber Welcome Center

January 22 – 10-11 am: Understanding DV, HT, and Stalking
Explore how to identify and respond to domestic violence, human trafficking, and stalking in both customers and co-workers, and learn about available local and national resources.
April 7- 10-11 am: Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Learn to recognize early warning signs of sexual assault, how to respond to disclosures, and how to connect survivors with resources and support.
August 5 – 10-11 am: Workplace Culture
Discover how to build a supportive workplace culture where all employees feel safe and valued, through stories, exercises, and practical leadership strategies.
Back in October 22 GBV Bystander Training was offered
We learned the basics of gender-based violence prevention, including the 4D’s of bystander intervention, and how to empower yourself and others to make a difference.

A Community Commitment
“Hospitality is the backbone of the Mad River Valley’s economy and culture,” said Eric Friedman, Executive Director of the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce. “By giving our front-line staff the tools and confidence to recognize and respond to difficult situations, we’re not just protecting individuals — we’re strengthening the fabric of our community and ensuring the Valley remains a safe, welcoming place for everyone.”
About Stand Up for Safety
A collaboration between local businesses, resorts, and organizations committed to standing up to gender-based violence and fostering a culture of care in the Mad River Valley.

Coffee With an Advisor
2026-08-19 09:00 - 10:30, 2026-11-04 09:00 - 10:30 | MRV Chamber Welcome Center, 9 Route 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
Life is full of questions, and money is no different. 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.
Each quarter we’ll have a different theme to get the conversation going;

March: 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.

May: 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.

August: 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.

November: 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.

MRV Women in Business - Social Media Workshop

These bi-monthly workshops are a place to have an open conversation about social media, what is working for everyone, what isn’t, what do you need help with? The MRV Chamber’s MRV Women in Business group decided to host these bi-monthly Social Media Workshops in the months in between the more structured MRV Women in Business Meetings. It is meant to be an open, collaborative brainstorming session designed to help you feel a little more prepared the next time you create a post or reel.
Let’s be honest, social media can feel overwhelming.
What do you post?
Should you use trending sounds?
Do captions really matter?
What makes a strong hook?
Why should people follow your page? Is your SEO set up?
This workshop is a space to come together and talk all things social. We’ll brainstorm content ideas, discuss what’s actually working right now, explore collaborations, and share experiences. The goal? You leave feeling inspired and ready to create a few new posts for your page. We will share hook ideas, trending sound ideas, adding words to the screen, adding captions, and anything else you would like to cover. The event is hosted by Samantha Ciccone, the coordinator of the MRV Women in Business Group.
Please feel free to BYOB if you’d like to sip while we brainstorm, and you’re welcome to grab snacks from Peace Burger across the street or from your favorite local spot.

Mow Crew
2026-09-14 07:00 - 2026-09-25 15:00 | VT
Mow some grass, earn your pass! Mow crew is the best way to get an intimate look at all of the nooks and crannies of Stark Mountain, burn some calories and make new ski buddies. At the end of the 10 days of work you’ll have earned some cash for your pocket and a full season’s pass for the upcoming winter.
A little run down on how we mow our trails… We use hand scythes to cut the grass, ferns and shrubs on the steepest slopes here at Mad River Glen. Most of the beginner and intermediate terrain is mowed with a tractor, mow crew steps in to finish off the areas the tractor can’t go. We mow and move in a line shoulder-to-shoulder hiking up the trails as we go. It can be tough work but the camaraderie makes it so much fun! Truly, it is rewarding and at the end of the 10 days, you’ll have a full season ski pass and some cash in your pocket. Not only that but you will likely have learned something about the terrain you didn’t already know and you’ll have gained a couple of new ski buddies.
The day begins at 7:00 am and we mow until about 3:00 pm with many short breaks in between. A backpack with a hydration pack is highly recommended and you should also pack yourself enough food to get you through the day. There will be water stations along the route to refill your containers and likely a ride down on the chairlift at the end of the day to ease the knees. Most people wear pants and long sleeves to fend off bugs and protect them from the sun but a few hardy folks go shorts and tees, everyone wears hiking boots – no exceptions. We will provide the scythe, a pair of work gloves, a sharpening stone/tools and water.
If you’re interested in joining the mow crew this fall please send an email to ry@madriverglen.com.

To enhance that collaboration we thought it would be a great idea to have a joint social gathering to celebrate our combined work and encourage further collaboration. And what better venue than the magnificent inn and grounds at the famous Moose Meadow Lodge & Treehouse located in the “neutral” ground” of Duxbury Vermont, AKA “De-Lux-Bury”!
If you haven’t been to the lodge and treehouse or been to one of their summer concerts you are in for an absolute treat, especially in the autumn. There will be more specifics coming up about this meeting as we get closer so stay tuned.
