A wonderful tradition of the Gathering is to conclude the weekend’s worth of events with a brunch at Spring Hills Farm, a working organic farm that nurtures maple trees, chickens, sheep, Christmas trees and artists.
We all sat together to break bread for the last time. Old and new friends shared their favorite parts of the weekend and speculated about what art might come from the inspiration of the last few days.
The 2011 Gathering will be held from July 14 to 17
Suzanne Fisher Staples shared the exciting line up for speakers next year:
Peter Bohlin - Architect
Witold Rybczynski - Memoir, Architect, Urban Planner
Craig Nova - Novelist
Ted Kooser - 13th Poet Laureate
Susan Cooper - Writer, Filmmaker
When the food was eaten and we came to that reluctant time for goodbyes Thomas Hamilton literally and figuratively blew us away with a closing benediction on his saxophone. Simply sublime.
