As the Bluegrass Barn continues to evolve , Volansky has maintained his collaborative partnership with the Bartletts , and he continues to work with them to further improve the barn ’ s amenities . “ We ’ re going to install an outdoor shower so that people can rinse off after swimming in the pond and long summer days ,” he says .
“ There ’ s a lot of potential that we still have yet to explore .” Volansky is a longtime resident of Stowe with deep Vermont roots , and he has also attended several concerts at the Bluegrass Barn . “ I ’ m excited for the performances this summer ,” says Volansky . “ We ’ re going to hold a small fundraiser for the Stowe Trails Partnership , who maintain the beautiful trails that Stowe is so well-known for . I happen to be a member , and I think it ’ s a great way to give back to the community . The Bartletts are very generous and kind people , and the Bluegrass Barn is a beautiful symbol of their love for Stowe . I ’ m grateful to have worked on the project with them , and I ’ m excited to see where they take it from here .”
