This Friday-thru-Monday workshop provides participants with the opportunity to share
in song and revel in the breathtaking foliage that has made Woodstock, Vermont a
coveted autumn destination. We’ll sing our heads off and make time for fall foliage
walks.
The 2009 workshop takes place over Columbus Day Weekend, Friday evening through
Monday afternoon, October 9-12. Our venue, Chapel of the North Universalist Society of
Woodstock, VT, is an historic structure built in 1835. The chapel is just steps from
the village green in what has been called "the prettiest small town in American" by
the Ladies Home Journal.
