I am really excited to share with you the details of our upcoming celebration for HomeShare Vermont’s 35th Anniversary on Thursday, April 20th. It will be an evening of storytelling, live music and good food.

Moth award winning storytellers Sue Schmidt and Kevin Gallagher will headline the event along with other auditioned storytellers each telling a story around the theme of home and living with others.

For those not familiar with the new wave of storytelling like the Moth Radio Hour on public radio, storytelling events focus on short stories about real people and real events. Sometimes the stories are funny, other times happy or poignant. Storytelling events have a history of being powerful, moving, and transformational for tellers & listeners alike. This will be a family friendly event.

Live music by The Brevity Thing. The band, featuring Dave Ball (guitar, harp), Jom Hammack (mandolin), and Steve Goldman (upright bass) blend together a myriad of musical styles, featuring strong vocal harmonizing, musical spontaneity, choice "cover" songs, and a few wild originals.

Food & Drink: Cash bar. Passed and stationed appetizers. Amazing assorted desserts from Waterfront Catering, Mirabelle’s & Miss Weinerz.

TICKETS: The event will be 6-9 PM at the Sunset Ballroom and tickets are only $35 each and can be purchased online https://homesharevermont.givezooks.com/events/35th-anniversary.
