JAM, Vital Communities and King Arthur Baking Company have teamed up to present a unique one-day Farm-to-Film Fest of films, live music and dance, food, activities, and farmer meet-and-greets to build awareness of the importance of adopting regenerative farming practices rooted in indigenous agriculture traditions as a climate solution and the harms of our current unsustainable food system.

Go, Vixens, Go!
You want roller derby? We got roller derby! The Twin State Vixens collided with the Bay State Brawlers in Woodstock! Smash 'em, crash 'em action? You betcha! Jammers rushed walls of blockers and shimmied through!

Just gorgeous. Lebanon visual artist Amy Fortier and New London fiber artist Cyndy Duade teamed up to create hooked rugs. Watch them show off the results. They reveal how they worked together. Their Howe Library exhibit "When Worlds Kaleidoscope" runs through November. "We speak the same color language," says Duade. "Do come, and we'll look forward to meeting you."
