Hurly Burly Vaudeville Benefit Show! - Saturday

Past event
Sep 16, 2017, 5 to 9:30 PM

We are thrilled to announce

The Hurly Burly Extravaganza & Refined Vaudeville Show: 
A Magical Evening of Wonders to Benefit Michael Secore and Family!

When: Saturday September 16 5 pm to 9 pm
Where: Shady Lady Speakeasy Moretown
(Just south of the village. Limited parking so please carpool)

This will be a vintage vaudeville hootenanny and festival of fun. Also silent auction. More exciting activities are listed below.

We are a village. And it's time to rally around a member of our village who needs our help..

Michael and his family are struggling and need our support. He has a tumor wrapped around his carotid artery and has been fighting it for almost a year. But his illness has escalated and reached the point where he has no strength to work and his wife and children are struggling, valiantly caring for him and supporting him in his quest for healing, while trying to stay afloat and keep the bank from taking their home. In addition, Michael needs funds to help continue his course of treatment. Let's show the world that Vermont is truly a village where we support each other...while having a rollicking good time in the process! 

Here are just some of the activities for the evening:

Silent and Live Auction
Live music: acts on stage and strolling musicians throughout the evening 
Tarot reading by Linda River Valente
Face painting 
Cigarette-style girls, providing yummy hors d'oeuvres & some other fun surprises
Herbal mocktail cash bar 
AND MORE!

$20 suggested donation per person, but give what you are able.

Well-behaved children welcome, though a few of the acts may have a playful, bawdy element, so the littler ones may be happier at home
We love doggies, but there are animals who live at the Shady Lady, so please leave your doggies at home this evening.

Coming in costume is certainly encouraged, but not at all required! But to give you a little inspiration, we've created a Pinterest board here: https://www.pinterest.com/tct1971/vintage-vaudevillecarnival/ 

Food & beverage: Shady Lady is BYOB. We will have yummy herbal mocktails for sale.
Hors d'oeuvres will be provided for your munching pleasure. 

We are overjoyed to thank the sponsors who have already showed their generous support:
Shady Lady Tattoo and the Shady Lady Speakeasy Cafe
Blossoming Bough Flowers
Frog Moon Hollow Healing 
Charlotte Root Nutritional Counseling
Charmed by Linda River Valente
