2023

BHS will again host the annual Pot Luck luncheon at our building over the lunch break on Town Meeting Day here in Bakersfield. Takeout will be available again. Pay by Donation. More details to come.

BHS will host our annual Sugar on Snow party at our building from 1-4pm. Local band Rusty Bucket will entertain everyone again. Enjoy local maple sugar on local snow, coffee, VT cider, fresh local donuts and other treats. Come share this Vermont tradition with someone new! Cost- by Donation at the door. 

* DATE CHANGE!* BHS will host a Vermont Humanities Council talk by Howard Coffin: 1800 and Froze to Death at our building. 1816 has long been known as the VT year without a summer. Vermonters still call it "1800 and Froze to Death," a year of frosts every month, dark skies and mysterious lights in the sky. In this talk, VT Historian Howard Coffin includes scores of anecdotes on the dark year of failed crops, scarce food, and religious revival. And the origin. Free.  Donations are welcome.  

We will again raise funds by selling ice cream cones, whole pies, bottled water, maple candy and more,  before and during the evening festivities. Rusty Bucket will entertain. Fireworks! Sap Bucket Auction for Red Sox signed photo, Cheese basket and more in our BHS building.   **We raised sorely needed funds to keep moving towards long term goals and ordinary building maintenance. Thank you!
