Come one, come all to the Winter Solstice gathering at the Waterworks property in Bristol. This long-running celebration, co-sponsored by The Watershed Center and Vermont Family Forests, will begin at 5:30pm on December 21 at the Norton Brook Reservoir, a half-mile walk from the parking area on Plank Road. Follow a trail of luminaria to the reservoir and join the festivities—bonfire, potluck, music by Rick Cebellos and friends, community singing, and a bit of solstice pageantry—bringing in the light and offering gratitude to the forest for its boundless gifts.
Bring a potluck dish to share, a musical instrument if you like, a flashlight or headlamp, plenty of warm layers and boots. Be prepared for ice and/or snow on the trail to the reservoir. Please leave pets at home. The Waterworks Property is at 4783 Plank Road in Bristol (map: http://bit.ly/2h8uGMs)
