Basin Bluegrass Festival rocks the region this weekend by DJ Dave Hoffenberg
The best, and most affordable festival around is the Basin Bluegrass Festival in Brandon, July 11-14. It’s been going strong for 28 years, with this being the 29. I’ve attended twice in the past and was blown away by all it had to offer. The music is exceptional. I didn’t know any of the bands going in, but they were all awesome. I sadly could not attend last summer so I’m excited to be able to attend this year. I now have some favorites I’ll try and see like Bloodroot Gap, Canaan’s Land, Cedar Ridge and the Greene Brothers. It’s a family atmosphere with down-home bluegrass music, many of it jug style. You can find more information at basinbluegrassfestival.com.

Vermonters, pummeled by floods exactly a year apart, are assessing damage, beginning cleanup
Remnants of Hurricane Beryl dumped heavy rain on Vermont on Wednesday and Thursday and caused more floods even as some people still await assistance after catastrophic floods that hit a year ago to the day. PLAINFIELD, Vt. (AP) — Volunteers, some with heavy equipment, shoveled river silt and mud from roads, homes, yards and driveways and removed flood-ravaged items from homes Friday in one of the Vermont communities hardest hit by flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. Former students of a now retired school principal, whose home and yard were among those damaged, showed up to help. “I think as a community we all got to come together and give a hand and receive nothing but just giving the love back that he’s given the community and to the school,” said Dillon Mears, 33, of Owen Bradley. Some wore t-shirts emblazoned with the word “love,” a message that Bradley and his wife Jane spread.
