BVTMB’s Shop & Swap Event
Join BVTMB at the Schoolhouse from 10 am to 1 pm. Spring is coming and it’s time to do some decluttering and enjoy a fun afternoon out with other moms! We’ve had several moms request a clothing swap type event and we finally decided to tackle it by combining it with an event that we’ve been wanting to do for awhile; a “Mommy Market”. We live in such an amazing community with so many “momprenuers”. We want to highlight these moms and their businesses, and see the moms in our community come together to support them.
So by combing these two ideas, the First Annual Swap & Shop event was born!
Cost: $5

Swing Peepers Concert @ South Burlington Community Library
Join the Swing Peepers at the South Burlington Community Library from 2-3 pm for a fun family concert to celebrate National Library Week.
About Swing Peepers: The Swing Peepers, a vocal-harmony and multi-instrument duo, perform inventive, earth-friendly and interactive songs and stories. The Swing Peepers are lively, improvisational, and endearingly goofy. Instruments strummed, swung, and tapped include: guitar, mandolin, harmonica, banjo, ukulele, and accordion. Most songs and stories are participatory, and body movement is part of the action!
The Swing Peepers draw out the creativity of audiences by having them participate in creating impromptu songs and stories. The Peeps take ideas from the audience and weave them into highly dramatic tall tales. These made-upon-the-spot rollicking stories are The Swing Peepers’ trademark – watch out for colorful surprises! This is a fun family concert for all ages!
Cost: Free
