Nancy, introducing the art and artists in front of Fairyland Pond.

An eager audience, indeed!!

A poet and her son!

Dancers poised on a bench, ready to turn the branch sculpture into a kinetic tent!!

My Mom and I, both immensely proud after the performance!

Thoreau & Money

A terrific night!

Jim Sherblom gave a very eloquent lecture on the financial context of Thoreau's time, as well as the economic philosophies that shaped him and his contemporaries. The crashes of 1837 & 2008 are more similar than we might realize.  The full text is at his website, here.

Jim Sherblom and the Strawberry Shortcake Party (Thoreau's Huckleberry Party would fit in nicely)

Reflections on the evening.

Both Henry & I enjoyed the evening immensely!
