Saturday, January 7th at 12-2pm at the Willey Building Auditorium,
a three-part event with Jon Gailmor, the Midnight Capers, and Odds Bodkin

Vermont singer-songwriter Jon Gailmor has a knack for helping us find a way to smile at life's challenging moments. Jon's music reflects on life and varies from silly to serious. Jon has been honored as an “Extraordinary Vermonter” by the governor, received the Mayor’s Peace Prize in Burlington and was awarded a Silver Citation by the Vermont Arts Council.  http://www.jongailmor.com/

12th Night welcomes back, The Midnight Capers, a Morris Dance team based in Central Vermont. Morris dancing is a form of English folk dance. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers, usually wearing bell pads on their shins. Implements such as sticks, swords and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers.

Odds Bodkin is a Master Storyteller, Author, Musician and Educator hailing from New Hampshire. Odds is renowned for his renditions of epic tales, and his ethics-based stories for children. Odds has been called “one of the great voices in American storytelling” by Wired and “a consummate storyteller” by The
New York Times.  https://www.oddsbodkin.net/
