IT’S SUMMER!

In this issue we celebrate the vitality and strength of local
women, and their engagement in sports—whether it be on the
golf course, the tennis courts, or on the trails. Be inspired by
them. We are also excited to update you on Stratton Mountain Resort’s
2019–2020 capital projects plan. These initiatives include
continued lift improvements, sports center and golf course
upgrades, the introduction of mountain biking for families,
beginners, and adventure enthusiasts, and overall enhancements
to create the most enjoyable guest experience for all ages.
And what would summer be in Southern Vermont without
music and theatre? Throughout the area performances include
10,000 Maniacs and the Little River Band at Stratton, The Blue
Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival in Manchester, Judy Collins
at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, and Natalie Merchant at
the Dorset Playhouse. Additionally, the Dorset Theatre Festival
season will reunite two alumni, Peri Gilpin and Dan Butler, from
the NBC sitcom Frazier in the production of Slow Food by
Wendy MacLeod. Read how all this came to be in this issue’s
