A bit of fall chill is expected this Saturday, so join neighbors and friends for a Chili Fest, beginning at 6 pm and featuring favorite chili recipes from local home chefs – options to include meat, veggie, red, white, and more! There will also be mac and cheese available for kids. Following dinner, the Suspects will take the stage for a Chicago blues concert at 7pm.
The Suspects (formerly The Usual Suspects Blues Band) include Central Vermonters Phil Hyjek (vocal/guitar), Chris Stone (harmonica), Lee Gardner (lead guitar), Al Roy (drums) and Sam Burke (bass). They love to play anything that's Chicago style, but mix it up with some traditional blues, 70's folk, rock and the occasional soul number. A sampling of some of their covers: Feeling Alright, Thrill is Gone, All Along the Watchtower, Bring it on Home to Me, Gloria, and so many more!
Admission for this event is $10/adult for chili and music, $5/adult for just music, and children are free, and the event is sponsored by National Life Group Foundation.
