While I was away celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary, our sister publication, Stratton Magazine, proudly co-sponsored the Civic Discourse & Community Symposium with the Chamber of Southwestern Vermont at the Stratton Mountain Club at Stratton Mountain Resort.

I was very sorry to miss this incredibly important conversation, but I know it will continue on and we welcome more discussion and engagement.

Hi, Friends!

This week's issue of The Guide is in your inbox! Read up about fireworks in the area and exciting news from my colleague, Benjamin!

Southern Vermont-based musician, writer, social media content creator, and recovery advocate Benjamin Lerner is stepping into the spotlight in a big way—bringing his brand-new one-man show PERFORMER to Barrington Stage Company in Pittsfield, MA on Wednesday, September 3.

For the past half decade, Lerner has been an active voice for Southern Vermont’s recovery community, collaborating with Vermont-based recovery nonprofits and public figures and spreading a message of resilience and hope through his music, his CLEAN Column, which ran in the Vermont News Guide from 2020-2025, his radio show on 102.7 WEQX, CLEAN Jams, and his viral social media content.

PERFORMER is the culmination of his story: a fearless, inspiring, genre-bending journey through addiction and recovery.

All proceeds from this one-night-only show will benefit three Berkshire-based nonprofit organizations that support creative initiatives and addiction recovery: BSC’s Musical Theatre Lab, The George B. Crane Memorial Center, and Living in Recovery.

Tickets are on sale now at: barringtonstagecompany2.thundertix.com/events/249541

YUM! Mmmmmore Burgers!

Words cannot express how much my family and I love Depot Street Burgers. All their burgers are made quickly to order and so very satisfying. They have creative combinations you can't find anywhere else and owners Annie and Matt are THE BEST!

Check out the "Burgerlicious" Depot Street Burger highlight in the Summer/Fall Issue of Manchester Life Magazine!

Mmmm...more burgers!

I took myself out for a Party of One at the Falcon Bar in The Equinox, Golf Resort & Spa and it did not disappoint!

I ordered the Battenkill Burger, which is lovingly curated by Equinox's Executive Chef Chris Tedesco to give Vermonters and visitors a little taste of Tennessee, his home state. The pimento cheese and bacon jam are what make this burger a hit. I look forward to returning to try the PB&J Burger!

Check out the Summer/Fall issue of Manchester Life Magazine for more burgerlicious offerings throughout the Shires!
