Happening at Claire's and in Hardwick

Hi everyone!

We hope you all had a lovely holiday. When you're leftovers run out or you just want to get out and have someone else cook for you, come on down to Claire's for a delicious meal. New tonight on the menu will be Steven's Lobster and Clam Chowder. Ed from Stowe Seafood has brought us some beautiful Maine lobster and Rhode Island clams that Steven cooks with Butterworks cream, Riverside Farm onions and Harvest Hill Farm potatoes.

Music Notes: This Thursday we will be treated to a repeat performance from a great performer, singer and guitar player - Jeremy Raboin. We loved him the last time he played at Claire's and are eagerly anticipating his return. Music starts at 7:30.

Book Notes: This Saturday December 6, Claire's partner Linda Ramsdell will be hosting a celebration at The Galaxy Bookshop marking the independent bookstore's 20th year in business. Yes, I said 20 years! The Galaxy Bookshop has been enriching our minds and our community for 20 years and we can't thank Linda and Sandy and Stella enough for all they do! The party will go from 8 AM to 5 PM. Please come out and celebrate this Hardwick treasure. For more details, you can go to the bookstore's website at www.galaxybookshop.com.

Ski Notes: The Craftsbury Outdoor Center will be hosting its Craftsbury X-C Ski Race Sunday December 7 beginning at 10 AM with day of race registration at 9 AM. We have snow! Come on out to experience what we think is the best cross-country skiing around. Then, after working hard all day on the trails, come on down to Claire's for dinner. We'd love to hear all about the race. For more information, you can call 586-7767.

Enjoy your week and we look forward to seeing you soon.

peace
