It's the social event of the year, Southern Vermont division! What is it, you may ask? It's the Annual Everett Soiree at Everett Mansion! Rachel and I accidentally came across this event last year when we were driving around the Northeast, and it was a ridiculous amount of fun.
The event takes place at Southern Vermont College, a tiny little school in the southwesternmost corner of Vermont located on the former estate of Edward Everett, "the glass and bottle magnate of the American Industrial Revolution" (before the Crash, that is). Anyway, it's a very classic campus, and the Soiree takes its attendees on a trip back to Everett's heyday with flappers, classic cars, tarot and palm readings, a backroom speakeasy with gambling [last year Rachel and I hit it big and won....local gift certificates we couldn't use], a big band with swing dancing, fireworks, and much more!
Anyway, the Soiree is tomorrow, and Rachel and I will be there with bells on. I'll let you know how it goes.
