West Brattleboro plans more ‘Fun in the Field’

BRATTLEBORO — The West Brattleboro Association invites the community to once again have “Fun in the Field,”  this time on Saturday, Sept. 25 (rain date, Sunday, Sept. 26) from noon to 6 p.m. in the field on Marlboro Road, next to the Chelsea Royal Diner.

Like the first edition in the fall of 2009, this Fun in the Field will have a barbeque (from the Chelsea Royal), local musicians and other performers, a chowder contest, an apple pie contest, a raffle and games for all ages.

Last year's Fun in the Field was partly a kick-off fundraiser to help preserve the 5-plus acre Locke Farm Field behind the Chelsea Diner on Sunset Lake Road. This year will be a celebration of the success of that fund-raiser and preservation effort.

There will also be tours of the Locke Farm Field.

Brattleboro West Arts is having a studio tour the same day, so people can stop in at Fun in the Field on their way to or from those artist studios in West Brattleboro and Marlboro. For more information on the studio tour, see www.brattleboro-west-arts.com.

Through Fun in the Field, West Brattleboro will once again celebrate community, neighbors mingling with neighbors during a fun afternoon. All are invited!
