Reunion you say?

Wow. Is it already that time again?

No, not spring training. (Go Red Sox) I am talking about Reunion 2011. For those of you who do not know, Reunion is a gathering that we have been hosting for the past two years at The Bissex Homestead in Plainfield, VT. Like-minded, loving people all in one place celebrating art, nature and community. I can picture it now. I promise that if you there last year, you can close your eyes and see it all.

The whole weekend brings to mind Paul Simon's "Rhythm of The Saints". I am pretty sure we were listening to that album as the gates opened last June. The sun was beating down as family, new and old, arrived from their journeys to set up their weekend homes. We danced in the rain, marveled at the stars, wandered over acres of land guided by the lightning bugs. I can close my eyes and transport myself to the top of our rolling hill lit by flickering flames. The sounds of laughter and music echoing throughout the valley.

As the ground thaws and the plans for warmer days formulate, I invite you to join us for this third weekend in June. There are so many festivals and options for music over the summer months, but the thoughts and memories of this little gathering will keep you warm throughout the coldest New England winter. I promise. We have amazing families of musicians who will be joining the lineup. Tickets will be available on April Fools Day. Stay tuned for more!
