We invite all our patrons and supporters to come out for a fun evening in support of the Arvin A. Brown Library. Come and watch the Kentucky Derby while you browse and nibble and bid! The Richford Country Club plays host for this wonderful event. Not only will we watch the Kentucky Derby race and pre-race festivities, but you will have the chance to browse and bid on a selection of items donated by businesses and artists and well known Vermonters.
Hand turned bowl by Toby Fulwiler of Fairfield Farm Bowls. He makes lathe-turned wooden bowls and hand-hewed kitchen implements from Vermont hardwoods including sugar & red maple, black cherry, white & yellow birch, and apple & crabapple, with most of the wood coming from his 90-acre forest in off Ridge Road in Fairfield.
East Meets West Family Farm has donated a collection of bar soaps. The farm is a small homestead in Northern Vermont. It farm is home to Cashmere goats, Romney and Border Leicester sheep, Angora rabbits and chickens. They offer handcrafted goat milk soaps, fiber, felted and knit goods.
