North Country Tour

Wind that Shakes the Barley returned to the Northwoods Stewardship Center's "Kindgom Coffee House" stage to the joys of a full house. November's temperature was mild in Vermont's north country, for a second year in a row! Is this the result of global warming or is this band just that HOT??!!! And the band enjoyed another fabulous breakfast next morning at Miss Lyndy's Diner served with that fine North Country hospitality!!!:)

Our second annual Robert Burns Night extravanza was carried out this year in its fine tradition.
