Celebrate those critters we love to hate! The member of the Simuliidae family known as the blackfly is a bane to many Vermonters, but a cause for celebration in Adamant. The annual Adamant Blackfly Festival, a free and family-friendly event, is set for Saturday, June 4, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The festival will feature local musicians playing traditional music from Sweden and the British Isles, grilled food for omnivores and vegetarians alike, and a bake sale that includes blackfly-inspired delights, and a plant sale. In addition, the Kellogg-Hubbard Library is generously donating children's books to give away at the festival. They will have a special tent inhabited by storybook papier-maché creatures and inviting children to come in and sit, read, tell stories of their own.
