The Festival

BURLINGTON, VT -- On Saturday, September 9th, 2000 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., come enjoy Vermont's best home-grown music, food, history and ecologically-inspired inventions at the Intervale Festival. An earth-friendly gala event, the Intervale Festival celebrates the bounty of the farm in Vermont’s largest city.

Once farmed by the Abenaki people and early American hero, Ethan Allen, the Intervale today bustles with organic farms, miles of trails, a museum and hundreds of community garden plots. Come celebrate Vermont ingenuity, past and present, with horse-drawn hay rides, 3 performance stages, garden tours, Abenaki drumming, electric car rides, river boat tours, and a mammoth harvest cook-out. Children will delight in unique local inventions like the Living Machine, the Bicycle Carousel, the Tomato Maze and Garden Olympics.

Admission to the festival is free. There is a $4 parking fee. The Intervale North site is hosted by Ethan Allen Homestead and the Winooski Valley Park District. The Intervale South site is hosted by Gardener's Supply Company and the Burlington Electric Department. For directions and information, call (802) 865-4556 or visit us at www.intervale.org

"Stone Soup"
Celebrates Community & Harvest

BURLINGTON, VT – Like the Stone Soup fable, we’ll add everyone’s veggies into a wood-fired cauldron for a true community meal at the Intervale Festival. In a true celebration of community, Vermont gardeners from near and far are encouraged to bring their garden extras to make vegetable soup that will nourish hundreds of fellow festival-goers. Unlike the Stone Soup fable, we won’t use stones!

In a 60 gallon cauldron hung over a fire pit, the Stone Soup will be prepared by cooks and staff from the Onion River Food Co-op – the sponsor of this festival event.

By the early afternoon, soup will be served free of charge to all. The cauldron has been donated by American Flatbread restaurant in Waitsfield, Vermont.

Stone Soup will happen at the Ethan Allen Homestead festival site – one of three sites linked by hayrides, shuttles and a bike trail. Admission to the festival is free. There is a $4.00 parking fee. For information, call (802) 865-4556 or click on www.intervale.org.

WHAT: Stone Soup – first ever!
ACTION: Bring garden extras between 10am and 1pm
WHEN:Soup will be served from 2pm to 5pm
WHERE:Ethan Allen Homestead festival site
