For those of you who can’t get tickets to the concert at the Latchis Theatre on February 4, or don’t go out at night, or just can’t get enough of the Dartmouth Aires, or like the idea of hearing the group perform in an intimate setting surrounded by cool artwork, we are happy to announce that the Aires have agreed to do an additional show in Brattleboro on Sunday, February 5 at 8:30 a.m.

Yes, 8:30 a.m. The songsters need to hit the road at 10, so we’ll serve light breakfast and coffee, the stars of NBC’s The Sing Off will do their thing, and there may even be some time for Q&A with the boys before they head off to their next gig.

Tickets are $25. Breakfast included. Space is limited. Call 802-257-0124, ext. 101.

Join us for a trip to JMB Glass, the studio of glass artists Josh and Marta Bernbaum, whose work was featured in the recent exhibits Dialogue and VT Kids Design Glass. Refreshments provided.

ADDRESS: 119 Hescock Road, Brattleboro VT 05301
DIRECTIONS:
From Interstate 91 (VT exit 2), drive west on VT Rte 9. In a few miles, be looking for state police barracks on left and the Chelsea Royal Diner on right. Next road on right after Chelsea Diner is Sunset Lake Rd. Take right on Sunset Lake, pavement for a mile then it turns to dirt.  Continue on dirt road for about another mile, up a couple inclines, will eventually pass clearing for some power lines, then will pass Kelly Road on your right.  After next curve and slight hill, look for Hescock Road on left where there will be a sign indicating whether to use the lower or the upper entrance to Hescock Road (depending on weather conditions).

If you take the first entrance toHescock Road, we will be the second house on your right as you go up the hill.  If you take the second entrance to our road that’s further upSunset Lake Road, then we’ll be the third house on the left. The house is set back from the road down a long driveway but visible from the road. Pink house with reddish modern barn in the back. The JMB Glass studio building is the modern-looking reddish barn, and look for signs about where to park. 

If you see a sign for Fisch Road off of Sunset Lake Rd., then you’ve gone too far.

Prix fixe, all you can eat ($19.50 adults, $17.50 for BMAC members, $15.50 for children under 12). Vegan, gluten-free, and wheat-free options available.
