 The Friends of the Union Meeting Hall in Ferrisburgh will present a special screening of Jay Craven's award-winning 1997 film, "A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM" 7pm, Saturday, February 15th at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall.  Director Craven will introduce the film and lead a post-screen Q & A.  

"A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM" tells the story of a small Vermont town whose veneer of peace and tranquility is shattered when a black minister arrives as the town’s new pastor and, soon after, finds himself charged with adultery and the murder of a French Canadian waif passing through town. Young rascal lawyer Charlie Kinneson, the local favorite son, tricks the young Canadian girl into town under false pretenses but he decides to defend the minister, placing himself at odds with family, friends, and a vanishing way of life.  The film - and Mosher’s novel - were inspired by the true events surrounding the infamous 1968 "Irasburg Affair.”

 Sing, Dance and Jam with us this winter (in Ferrisburgh)! The Middlebury Community Music Center is excited to offer a winter session of the nationally recognized, research based, Music Together® program! Classes in Ferrisburgh started this Monday, January 13th but there are still 6 spots left! We will prorate the class tuition for any family who joins this week. There are a few spots left in the Middlebury-based classes that started last week.

Every week in class we will sing and dance and at the end of class there is “play-along” instrument jam where you and your child have a chance to experiment with different ways to play your instrument. This upcoming session, your little ones will love jumping and hiding in "John the Rabbit" and "Sneak and Peek." You'll all be mesmerized by the beautiful lullaby, "Arrorró, mi niño" and enjoy the show stopping energy of the Ghanaian tune, "Everybody Loves Saturday Night."

 In addition to your weekly classes, your tuition includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including an illustrated songbook and access to the songs through the Music Together app.
