Happening at Claire's and around Hardwick

Summer Sundays bring three ways to have a good time at Claire’s! We’re open for our popular “Blunch” from 11 to 2. Come by after 2 and enjoy coffee and a sweet snack, or a glass of your favorite cook beverage from the bar. From 5-8, we’re open for dinner. Catch up with friends, relax over a good meal, watch a summer day roll by through our windows.

Local Food is Popping: Jalapeños from Pete’s Greens are coming in, and Steven is thrilled about a stuffing and batter to fry them into Poppers. Leeks are also on their way, and the tomatoes are particularly sweet and aromatic this year. Look for them with roasted chicken.

Thursday Music: We’re thrilled to welcome the Bottomshelf Bootleggers, who are inspired by Old Timey Americana, featuring washboard bass, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, and vocal harmonies. Come by to enjoy the music and maybe dance.

Local Events: Tuesday night, the Hardwick Area Transition Town committee is meeting at 7 pm at the Center for an Agricultural Economy. Learn more about Transition Towns at www.transitiontowns.org.
