The community is invited to celebrate Montpelier Alive’s 15th anniversary on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 4:30 to 9 p.m., on State Street between Elm and Main. Live music will be provided by Project 3; there will be kids’ games and activities including face-painting, and for those of you who missed your favorite vendor at our July 3 Independence Day commemoration, many will be back to help us celebrate! Birchgrove Baking is making a delicious celebratory cake.
The grand finale will be a full fireworks show at 8:45 p.m. Thanks to National Life Group, Vermont Tire, Bob’s Sunoco, Green Mountain Sound and Entertainment and A & L Auto for sponsoring this part of our celebration.
