STAND UP FOR SAFETY WORKSHOPS

MRV Chamber Welcome Center

August 5 @ 10:00 am

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

MRV Chamber Welcome Center

August 19 @ 9:00 am

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 Start
    Pour 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 Pause
    Longer 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 Transitions
    As 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 End
    As 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

MRV Chamber Welcome Center

September 10 @ 5:00 pm

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

September 14 @ 7:00 am

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 [email protected].

Siptemberfest 2026

September 19 @ 12:00 pm

STARK’S PUB WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH FOR SIPTEMBERFEST. 

Back in 2008, three folks who really like beer, really like festivals and really like Mad River Glen, decided we wanted to bring the fun of a beer fest back to the Valley and that the only way it was going to happen was if we pulled up our bootstraps and did it ourselves!

Although Siptemberfest has grown over the years it is still the greatest little beer festival in the state of Vermont. There are still only around 24 brewers and roughly 800 tickets for sale, making it the Best Little Beer Fest in Vermont. For more information check out the official SIPtemberfest website.

Our market vendors are a carefully curated group of local Vermont businesses that provide the highest quality products to the market. Every Saturday, rain or shine, mid-May to mid-October, you’ll find us on the Mad River Green! Local produce, plant starts, maple, honey, flowers, seedlings, eggs, meats, cheeses, fish, crafts, art, clothes, bread, baked goods, coffee, spirits, cider, mead and prepared foods all by Vermonters. Every Saturday there is live entertainment. Visitors are welcome to bring their pets on leash. Our market is proud to offer many food benefit options for our community, learn more about them below! 3 Squares VT / SNAP The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families and provides economic benefits to communities. In fact, SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) works with key stakeholders in every state to ensure that those eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed decisions about applying for the program and can access benefits.

Farm to Family

Farm to Family is a program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These coupons are in denominations of $6.00 and helps individuals buy fresh fruits and vegetables, locally grown from Vermont farms and at Farmers Markets. Look for vendors at our Market with the Farm to Family Program sign to accept your coupons.

Crop Cash

Crop Cash is a double-value coupon program that promotes the purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs at farmers markets that accept 3SquaresVT/SNAP benefits. In essence, Crop Cash is an incentive dollar that is earned for 3SquaresVT/SNAP purchases for use on the future purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and starts at the market. Coupons are marked specifically to each Market and available year round. NOFA-VT manages this program.

1st Ever MRV – Discover Waterbury Combined Chamber Mixer

Moose Meadow Lodge

October 21 @ 5:30 pm

They said it would never happen, but the times are a changin'! In this era of divisiveness all around us, we are working hard to build as many bridges  as we can. We take great pleasure in working ever more closely with our good neighbors at out counterpart organization, Discover Waterbury. We are doing all we can to promote our interconnected region and encourage visitation and collaboration. 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. One of the MRV-DW collaborations that has been significant has been our work to bring international tourists to our Route 100 corridor. Learn more about this work...

Coffee With an Advisor

MRV Chamber Welcome Center

November 4 @ 9:00 am

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 Start
    Pour 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 Pause
    Longer 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 Transitions
    As 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 End
    As 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

MRV Chamber Welcome Center

November 12 @ 8:00 am

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.
