Bells Across America happens every September 17 at 4 PM EDT at the Grace Community Church in Canaan, VT. It is the time and date that the Constitution was completely signed in 1791. In some places it also honors first responders that come when we need them and put their lives on the line for us. In the Northeast Kingdom, the Saint John de Crevecoeur Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, partners with communities to participate in Bells Across America.

I am reaching out to let you know of a Plein Air event that will be taking place at the Canaan Community Forest on Saturday, September 19, from 10-2, rain date will be the 20th. There is much to see throughout the forest or just from the porches made available. People may bring their guitars and create songs, write poetry, bring their fiber art...anything they choose!

We would truly appreciate it if you would share this opportunity with your students and staff members. Refreshments will be made available, to include April's Maple soup/chili, sides, and sweet treats. Of course, you can hike and play disc golf while you are there, as well as participate in some art stations that will be set up which should be fun for all ages!
