All are invited to our first Mini-Fest for some relaxation, community, and merriment. This fundraiser is celebrating the end of the season, 5 years of Vesper Meadow programs, and most of all… you! We are so grateful to continue this biocultural restoration work, and it is the good folks that support the community programs and make it possible.
You will enjoy the fall season at the meadow, hear about our last five years of biocultural restoration, and partake in both healing and celebratory activities (schedule below). We are excited to welcome back some outstanding local musicians Bekkah McAlvage and Daniel Sherrill, who both have supported our work over the years. We will be debuting hand-printed Vesper Meadow tote bags, raffle prizes, a silent auction, and (back by popular demand) our Vesper Meadow hats!
Space is limited, purchase your ticket in advance (and a custom made VM tote bag too!)
