We hosted an outdoor film screening on August 3rd, which was a hit! It was held as a successful fundraiser for survivors of this Summer's flooding in Plainfield VT, while remembering the impact that last year’s flood had here locally. The featured film was "The Forgotten", a documentary produced by our friends & colleagues from Red Vault Productions and the non profit Planet Axis. The film shows the community building that came out of the flood recovery among their neighbors on Depot Street in Proctorsville. Originally, it was supposed to be a film that brought some closure for them, after the traumatic event and ongoing recovery. But then, on the anniversary of the flood, a new flood hit Vermont - mostly to our North. The filmmakers, Stefan & Wendy, realized that screenings of the "The Forgotten" could be held to do some good. Our screening was a stop along their tour of the film, currently underway and raising funds for this year's flood relief.
We appreciate the support from the Town of Ludlow & the local businesses who helped make this event a success through their generous support: The Book Nook, Brewfest Beverage Co., The Cookster, Goodman’s American Pie,, Jasper Forest, Mojo Cafe, Pops Biscotti & Chocolate, Tygart Mountain Sports, Queen of the South, Wilcox Ice Cream, & Yeah Wine Shop. And thanks to all who came out to help us raise the $1,200 for Capstone Community Action’s Flood Relief fund for those affected by the July 10-11, 2024 flood in Plainfield.
