  Fall Work Weekend and Oktoberfest in Vermont
  

  October 6th - 9th, 2021

  Our lodge needs tender loving care to stay beautiful, and as a volunteer organization, we provide the labor ourselves. Columbus Day Weekend was great last year.  If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get down and get dirty, we can accomplish a great deal. Many hands make light work.

  When our work day is done … we have fun.

  We do have improvements and general maintenance we need to accomplish.  Saturday will be a day of work.  On Saturday evening we will enjoy the Oktoberfest spirit with a BBQ and party at the lodge

  Sunday we will enjoy the Oktoberfest celebration that will kick in high gear in the afternoon, including Stowe Foliage Arts Festival featuring live music, great food, draft beer and traditional craftwork.

  Stowe Arts Fest
  

  We hope you can attend to help maintain this beautiful lodge that we all cherish and to join the Oktoberfest celebration!

  
  

  Lodging and food are free to all participants.
