Winter Fest in

North BenningtonThe village of North Bennington will be ground zero for

winter fun on Saturday, Jan. 28, when the Bennington

Chamber of Commerce holds its annual Winter Festival and

Special Olympics Vermont hosts the annual Penguin Plunge

in Lake Paran.

“It’s a real family affair,” said Bennington Chamber

President and Special Events Coordinator Lindy Lynch. “And

all the events are walkable.”

The day kicks off at 11 a.m. with the Penguin Plunge into

Lake Paran. The Plunge is the biggest fundraiser of the year

for Special Olympics Vermont, and the North Bennington

event is one of the organization’s largest and most successful

events.

“We raised $15,919 in North Bennington last year,” said

Kim Bookless, fundraising events manager for Special

Olympics Vermont. “That’s very impressive; it represents

half of our annual budget for the year.”

Those wishing to help Special Olympics by plunging into

Lake Paran can register online at www.firstgiving.com/vtso,

or at 8:30 a.m. on the day of the event. The registration fee for

each entrant is $25, and adults must raise a minimum of $75

to take the plunge. The minimum donation for students in

grades one through 12 is $50. All participants receive a Turtle

Fur fleece hat and a Penguin Plunge towel as they exit the

water.

There are several incentive prizes for participants, and

the event also features several competitions. The individual

who raises the largest amount of money earns the Pearless

Penguin award. The team with the greatest number of

Plungers gets the “Pack of Plungers” trophy, which was won

last year by the Bayada Nurses team. Other awards include

“Cool School,” “Penguin Patrol” (for law enforcement teams),

and the “Plumage Award” for the most creatively dressed

penguin.

Penguin Plunge kicks off with a Pre-Plunge Party from 5

to 8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 27 at Doug’s on Main Street.

Bookseller noted that participants can check in at the party

with their donations and receive their hat at that time, if

they choose.

It’s a community-wide event. “We wouldn’t be able to put

this on without the support of the community, especially the

North Bennington Fire Department,” said Bookseller.

Winter Festival events shift into high gear after the

Penguin Plunge.

Stop by the Vermont Arts Exchange at 11:30 a.m. for an

After Plunge Party. There will be live music, the popular

Chili Tasting offered by the Norshaft Lions, a cash wine and

beer bar by Kevin’s, massages, raffles and more.

From noon to 4 p.m. at Norshaft Lions Park, take part in

Winter Sports and Demos. Representatives from Dion Snow

Shoe will offer demos of their snow shoes. “We’re very excit-

ed that they will be there,” said Lindy Lynch. “They’re a

major snowshoe manufacturer that makes snowshoes right

here in North Bennington.” The park will also be the scene

of dog sled demos.

Also starting at noon is an Indoor Winter Carnival at the

North Bennington Graded School. Families can enjoy carni-

val games, a bounce house, face painting and more.

Throughout the day, cast your vote for People’s Choice as you

watch ice sculptors transform a block of ice at the North

Bennington Train Depot for the Ice Sculpture Contest.

Awards will be given at 3:30 p.m.

Other festival events include the Pet Winter Fashion Show

at 4 p.m. at Whitman’s Feed, and wagon rides throughout the

village. Big Brothers/Big Sisters will also have a children’s

activity.

In the evening, the festival wraps up with an After Dark

Dance party rom 6 to 11 p.m. at the American Legion in

Bennington.

“We invite everyone to spend the day in the small village

of North Bennington,” said Lynch. “Everyone leaving at the

end of the day feels great.”

Former CIA Chief to speak in ManchesterFormer CIA Chief of Counterterrorism Haviland Smith

will examine current U.S. policy in the Middle East and the

challenges it faces during his talk “U.S. Foreign Policy in the

Complicated and Incendiary Middle East” at 7 p.m. on

Wednesday, Feb. at the First Congregational Church of

Manchester.

The event is part of the Vermont Humanities Council’s

“First Wednesdays” humanities lecture series. It is hosted by

Mark Skinner Library and is free and open to the public.

“We’re fortunate to have some very high-caliber people

here in Vermont,” said Sylvia Plumb, communications direc-

tor for the Humanities Council. She noted that Smith has

lectured at several First Wednesday events throughout the

state.

Haviland Smith worked in Prague, Berlin, Langley, Beirut

and Tehran on issues related to the Soviet Union. He also

served as the chief of the CIA’s counterterrorism staff. Smith

was also the creator of several espionage techniques used by

the CIA during the Cold War.

A graduate of Exeter, Dartmouth College and the

University of London, Haviland Smith served in the U.S.

Army at the United States Army Security Agency prior to

joining the CIA. He currently lives in Vermont.

Library at (802) 362-2607.

of a Wimpy Kid” book series, will appear at

Northshire Bookstore for a special signing of his

new book “Diary of Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever,” at

6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 2. Kinney’s book “Diary

of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules,” was made into a

major motion picture.

Jeff will sign any new books purchased for the

event at Northshire, and two books per person

time constraints, Jeff will be able to sign his sig-

nature only, with no personalization.

This is a great opportunity to meet one of

other and to our community.

Their mission statement is “To

develop deeper relationships

with our community and with

In celebration of the Everett

Mansion’s 100th anniversary,

Southern Vermont College will

host a lecture on the architec-

ture and history of the mansion

at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7 in

the school’s Everett Theatre.

The lecture will feature

noted historians Glenn M.

Andres, professor, History of

Art and Architecture at

Middlebury College; Tyler

Resch, Historian at the

Bennington Museum; and

Susanne Warren, Architectural

Historian and Library Director

at John G. McCullough Free

Library in North Bennington.

This lecture is part of the

college’s themed series

“Inspiring History: Shaping the

Future.” It is free and open to

the public. Following the lec-

ture, a reception to meet the

speakers will follow in the

Burgdorff Gallery.

Work began on the summer

home of wealthy industrialist

Edward Everett during April

1911. Thirty-two Italian stone-

workers worked round the

clock, hand-cutting and moving

local granite into place to com-

plete the exterior of the 27-room,

Norman castle style mansion in

just eight months.

A breathtaking architectural

gem listed on the National

Register of Historic Places, the

mansion now houses the admin-

istrative offices and classrooms

at Southern Vermont College.
