Treat me gingerly
Take a tour of the 21st annual Gingerbread Festival in Norwich Hall. Sponsored by The Family Place, the fund-raising event celebrated 110 tasty houses from more than 13 Upper Valley communities. "When we come together and support early learning and education with families, we are helping children get the best starts in life," says a spokeswoman. Highlight? The Norman Rockwell village with a covered bridge, church, and pickup truck.

Settle back, my children, and you shall hear a reading of O. Henry's sublime 1905 short story 'The Gift of the Magi.' Read by JAM's director of programming George Spencer with sublime visuals by JAM's technical director and senior producer Chico Eastridge, this tale tells how a poor young couple made the ultimate material sacrifices to give each other the perfect Christmas. Ho, ho, ho!

JAM on VT Healthy Communities Podcast | |
Empowering Vermonters to Make Better Places
Healthy communities require safe streets and sidewalks; inclusive gathering places and green spaces for everyone to enjoy; and easy access to medical services and fresh food. If you live in a rural town in America, these things can be hard to come by. Join Suzanne Kelley and Richard Amore in Small Towns, Healthy Places, the podcast that explores the intersection between health equity and community design in the State of Vermont.
Episode 7 (starting approx. 11mins) features JAM. Executive Director Samantha Davidson Green speaks about JAM's successful 2022 Better Places crowdfunding campaign and matching grant that transformed JAM and a downtown White River Junction space into a "multimedia playground for all ages."

Prelude
In the spring of 1854 seventeen-year-old Adeline Elizabeth Hoe began to keep a daily diary. Filled with six months of the details of a young girl’s life, the diary offers a wonderful window into the mind of an educated young woman from a well-to-do family living in Lower Manhattan in the turbulent decade before the Civil War. Her meticulous record of the elegant music, dances and literature she and her sister enjoyed is juxtaposed with her matter-of-fact relation of epidemics and sudden deaths, conveying a vivid picture of mid-nineteenth-century life.
Plainfield, NH author Helen Davidson, a descendant of Adeline, transcribed the diary with her husband, Richard Davidson. Helen wrote the novel Prelude, while transcribing Adeline’s diary, re-imagining the life of this spirited young girl.
Davidson is bringing this beautiful novel to audio book format. Look for the release coming soon!
