Vermont Public Community Calendar

Join Middlebury College Men’s Hockey as the Panthers celebrate the Center for Community Engagement and the incredible organizations it supports, including a special highlight of Yellow House. This community-focused evening will feature opportunities for fans to learn about local programs, meet representatives, and take part in family-friendly activities at the community engagement tables inside Kenyon Arena.

All fans will receive free ice cream, and kids can enjoy Panther tattoos, hockey cards, and raffle giveaways (while supplies last). Admission is free, and the entire community is invited to attend.

Join us for the 8th Annual X-mas Lights Ride in downtown Poultney, Vermont. This is a historic and hilarious tradition, and each year is better than the last.

Decorate your bike with lights, streamers, plastic lawn ornaments - the sky's the limit! We want to see creative, bright, crafty, and funny. This is a short ride, under 4 miles, around downtown Poultney, at a parade pace so we can all admire the bright bike creations. We'll kick off the festivities with a pop-up shopping event with Fifth Season Canvas from 4-6 pm. You can shop a curated selection of functional and sustainable bags and gear, sewn in a one-woman studio in Middlebury, Vermont. The ride starts at 6 pm, and we'll be rolling for about an hour. There will be prizes for best decorated adult bike, best decorated kids bike, and sketchiest decoration situation. Post-ride holiday karaoke at The Poultney Pub if you want to make a night of it!

Spend an hour, a day, or the entire weekend to help us get ready for our next summer of camping. Your time and energy help grow and maintain the vision and legacy of Brian J. Stephens, who started this rescue effort!

Camp with us, enjoy the campfire at night with old and new friends, and hang out with the farm animal rescues.
We have a number of projects that we need help with in addition to the annual spring clean-up around the grounds.
We will be building two new campsites (camping is a big income generator for the rescue). Plus there is painting of the greenhouse and the tent decks that volunteers built last year.
There are donkey hooves to trim, wood debris to be gathered, poop to shovel, and more!

No experience is necessary.

Pack your tent & sleeping bag so you can spend the weekend and commune with the critters! Boots and gloves are recommended (it can be muddy and poopy).

Plus, the 8,000 daffodils (all planted by volunteers just like you!) should be in bloom this weekend!
