Summer-Long 'Used Art' Treasure Hunt: S.L.U.A.T.H. (Annually)
Wherever you may be, spend your summer scavenging through boot, estate, garage, jumble, moving, rummage, tag, & yard sales; bazaars; flea markets; roadside free piles; swap meets; whole-house cleanouts; etc to find the best work of art at the best price. Both "best"s are subjective. After summer's over, art will be exhibited in a cohesive show at Espresso Bueno in Barre VT, and many pieces will be up for auction. S.L.U.A.T.H. has a reputation for being an engrossing challenge.
- Register by emailing info@wooo.tv with the message, "I wanna be a S.L.U.A.T.H.!"
- To anticipate & manage how many pieces we will have for display: NO PARTICIPATION WITHOUT REGISTRATION. (Yes, you can join on the fly/mid-summer; yes, you can drop out if you don't find anything.)
- The 'Used Art' Show will hang in Espresso Bueno from September 30th to November 13th.
Weekend-before-Thanksgiving 2024
WORST. SONG. EVER. (Annually)
Stay tuned!
Saturday February 15 2025 @ 9:00am
The Hunger Mountain Climb @ the Rumney Memorial School, 433 Shady Rill Rd in Middlesex VT (Annually)
In its nearly 50-year history, nothing has ever canceled this event: Not snowstorms, not bare ground, not pandemics. Bring things to snack on & sip on, and a shot of brandy is offered to adults at the summit. Young children, dogs, & the person lugging the brandy all routinely summit, but people go at their own pace, as far as they like, & turn around when they like: You do not have to go all the way to the top (unless you really want the brandy). If you wear snow pants, you can slide down on the descent here & there, which is great fun!
- Meet in the Rumney School parking lot at 9:00am.
- Snowshoes or spikes recommended.
- ~2,000-foot ascent, ~10-kilometer round trip, & you will be home soaking in a hot bath circa 3:00pm.
