Stroll Weekend helps us build
stronger farms and food businesses!
A welcome from Orly Munzing, founder of the Stroll
It’s hard to believe it, but this
is the 15th annual Strolling of
the Heifers Weekend!
During that time, since 2002, the
“Stroll” has evolved quite a bit. In
the beginning, it was just a fun
parade and festival that generated
a little income to provide grants for teachers to do early farm-toschool projects.
Today, we have a set of year-round programs to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship at farms and food businesses, and to
build stronger local food systems.
Based on the success of our Farm/Food Business Planning
Competitions, we’re gearing up to launch a brand-new, enormously exciting program called Windham Grows: a food and agriculture
business hatchery.
In collaboration with state and regional partners, Windham Grows
aims to build the food and agriculture business sector in
Windham County by connecting startup and early-stage businesses with critical services, resources and financing. Once it gets up
and running in Windham County, we’ll look at expanding to other
parts of Vermont and New England.
Led by a pair of seasoned entrepreneurs-in-residence, Windham
Grows helps build businesses in a three-stage annual development cycle:
• Step 3: Custom-tailored support for growth: Continued support to bring the best of these opportunities to market in a
systematic approach, custom tailored for each business, that
includes mentoring, physical office, lab or maker space, land,
or kitchen space, as appropriate, as well as assistance in gaining access to capital, services including legal, accounting, strategic advice, tech support, and more.
Windham Grows activities will be centered at the Robert H.
Gibson River Garden, The Stroll’s headquarters building in the
heart of downtown Brattleboro, where 4000 square feet of new
space has been developed as offices, collaborative meeting and
working space, and a kitchen for research & development work.
Besides Windham Grows, we’re also proud of our Farm-to-Table
Culinary Apprenticeship Program, taking place again this summer
at the River Garden, in partnership with the Windham Regional
Career Center and the Vermont Department of Labor. This program trains underemployed people and veterans for careers in
the culinary field — last year, 11 people completed it and are now
employed full-time in local kitchens and food production facilities.
The outcome of all of this: good jobs for more people in a stronger local food system. And your support of Strolling of the Heifers
Weekend helps to make it all possible. Many thanks!
Orly Munzing
Strolling of the Heifers Founder
& Executive Director
• Step 1: Discovering opportunities: A program of outreach,
workshops and cross-sector networking events designed
smoke out ideas for new products, new methods and new
markets that represent business opportunities
• Step 2: Competitive evaluation: A process designed to develop, test and rank business models, plans and financial projections for these opportunities
Please, NO Dogs at the
Parade & Expo!
Because some of the animals in the
parade may not react well to dogs,
please leave them at home on the day
of the parade. Thanks!

We’re recycling and composting to
the max to strive for Zero Waste!
Please help us compost, recycle, and strive for Zero
Waste by not throwing anything “away” at Stroll events!
C
We’ve asked our vendors to help out by providing easily
recyclable food containers and utensils. (Look for “EcoVendor”
signs at participating vendors!) After you consume their
delicious offerings, please do your part by recycling everything
that’s recyclable!
At our Zero Waste disposal stations throughout the Expo, as well as at the
Friday night festival, the Slow Living Summit and the Tour de Heifer, you’ll find
three well-marked, separate containers for various materials:
•
Plastic, glass and metal — including caps and lids!
•
Compostables — including food waste, paper and cardboard
•
Trash — there shouldn’t be much of this!
At the Zero-waste stations, you’ll find a volunteer to help you sort things out. True
“Zero Waste” is still out of reach, but we’re aiming for 80 percent recycling, 20
percent waste — or even better! Please help us get there!
Thanks to our recycling partners:

Stroll Weekend Entertainers
Audrey and
Clayton
New England duo
Audrey Budington
and Clayton
Clemetson perform
spirited yet heartfelt genre-defying
original compositions on fiddle and
piano. Whether contemplative melodies that conjure up images, spunky
innovations that inspire groove, or a
slick lick adroitly mastered, a current
of idealism and sincerity permeates
their music. Audrey and Clayton’s passion for traditional New England, Irish,
Cape Breton and Scottish dance
music, sprinkled with their flair, is
astutely expressed in their rousing
performance. They have performed in
Quebec and throughout New England
at fairs, dances, weddings.
Bayou X
New Orleans
native Pete
Simoneaux, and
his spouse/partner Linda
Simoneaux have
been performing Louisiana Cajun &
Creole music since the late 1980s,
first in Philadelphia, as Schuylkill
Bayou Ramblers, and since 1997 in
New England, as Lil Orphans. In 2011,
they released their debut CD, Big
Powerful Woman, under the name Lil’
Orphans Cajun Express. They rechristened the Cajun Express band under
the name Bayou X in 2013, to better
reflect the band’s continued stylistic
expansion. They work with many excellent musicians, and constantly evolve
their lineup to take full advantage of all
the wonderful musical flavors in their
musical garden! And what a harvest
they offer; not only Louisiana Cajun
music, but also Creole Zydeco,
Swamp Pop, New Orleans Funk,
Rhythm & Blues, and musical styles
from the global Creole diaspora –
Dominica, Guadeloupe, Haiti,
Martinique, St Lucia, Trinidad… Bayou
X is a high energy dance band, with a
diverse lineup of top area musicians,
performing an increasingly original
musical repertoire, guaranteed to
delight and entertain. Their new CD,
Something Special, is currently in production. (Listen to two tracks here!)
Core membership of the group
includes, but is not limited to the following members of the band:
Pete Simoneaux – Fiddle, Vocals
Linda Simoneaux – Accordion(s),
Fiddle, Piano, Sousaphone, Vocals

Brattleboro Music Center Youth Fiddlers
Brattleboro Nursery School
Easy Street
Lisa and Mark
Brande make up
the fiddling duo
Easy Street. These
professional full
time musicians play Cajun, Zydeco
and Louisiana Roots fiddle based
music in Vermont, Louisiana and
Florida in a variety of combos.
Alan Greenleaf &
The Doctor
Alan Greenleaf, guitarist and songwriter, and Jonathan
Kaplan, pianist,
have been playing
together for more than 10 years and
are one of the more unique musical
pairings in Vermont. Both talented
musicians and both former farmers,
they blend musically and personally to
give life to Alan’s original songs. Alan
has been described as the quintessential Vermont song writer by Robert
Resnik, the quintessential Vermont
music supporter. His blues-folk-rock n’
roll influenced North Country sound
covers a range of styles. His words are
thoughtful, humorous, poignant and,
on occasion, hopeful. His continued
commentaries on the human condition remain unvarnished but they are
sweeter and his insights into the workings of the rural heart seem to grow
with time. Want to know what rural life
in Vermont is like? ….just listen to
Alan’s songs. And lest we forget, Alan
also wrote the theme for The Strolling
of the Heifers more than 10 years ago.
This year he and the Doctor look forward to premiering his latest song for
the Stroll, Love Your Farmer!!
Inisheer
Inisheer is a
group of
friends playing “northern
roots” music

Krasner,(fiddle); Tom Reish, (fiddle);

Darryl Kniffen
Darryl Kniffen and
his group of all star
musicians will be

from Darryl’s debut
album DREAMLAND,
a groundbreaking album that pushes
the boundaries of jazz/fusion. From
the explosive arrangement of ACDC’s

hypnotic original “Midnight Drive,” this
group takes the audience on a wild
ride!

was founded in
early 2009 by New
Orleans native Pete
Simoneaux, as a means of developing
a community of musicians, interested
11
Entertainers, continued
in performing traditional and contemporary New Orleans style Brass Band
music. This is the music of jazz funerals and street parades in New Orleans,
the style that gave birth to the careers
of Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong,
Sidney Bechet, and whose lineage
continues to this day in the funky, driving street rhythms of groups like the
Dirty Dozen, the Rebirth, New Birth &
Treme Brass Bands. The musicians of
the N.O.B.B.P. have become familiar
to Brattleboro area audiences through
their performances at numerous
Gallery Walks, the Strolling of the
Heifers, 4th of July parades, and a
host of other local community events.
For the 2016 edition of the Strolling
of the Heifers, the Celebration Brass
Band will feature Tim Ellis on sousaphone, Ben James on bass drum,
Stephen Voorhees on snare drum,
Scott Sizer on trumpet, Dan DeWalt
on trombone, Jim Kurty on clarinet,
Walter Slowinski, Frank Sansone & Jon
Mack on tenor, baritone & alto saxes,
with Pete & Linda Simoneaux serving
as parade marshalls.
Nomad vs. Settler
Nomad vs.
Settler (NvS)
came together in the summer of 2014
when Putney
School freshman Archer Parks (lead
guitar) and BAMS 7th-grader Rei
Kimura (vocals, rhythm guitar) began
collaborating to see what kind of
music they could create. The duo
soon added bassist/guitarist Owen
James (6th grade, Hilltop Montessori)
and most recently, drummer Milou
Rigollaud (a sophomore at Four Rivers
Charter School), creating undeniable
youthful chemistry and magnetism. In
November, 2015, Nomad vs. Settler
took the top prize in Brattleboro Youth
Services’ bi-annual Battle of the
Bands: 10 hours of studio recording
time donated by David Snyder of
Guilford Sound. The band has just
completed the recording of their
debut CD, a compilation of five original songs that highlight the range and
complexity of NVS’s repertoire. NVS
has performed at a variety of venues
around the region, including appear-
ances at the Brattleboro Museum and
Arts Center and The Strolling of the
Heifers, as well as opening appearances with The Snaz at Headroom Stages,
the Brattleboro Museum of Art, and
The Rendezvous, and with the
Fantastic Partnerz at The Stone
Church. Nomad vs. Settler’s music has
vast range and jaw-dropping maturity.
Their intricate rhythms are infused
with Parks’s haunting guitar riffs,
James’s soulful bass lines, and layered
with Kimura’s uniquely warm and low
vocal tones. NVS enthralls audiences
with keenly original compositions, creative arrangements and superb craft
from each member. This exciting
young band can and should be seen
by music lovers of all ages.

world of circus
feats, presented by
a tiny flea with a big
personality. In this
20-minute Sandglass Theatre show,
you will experience Fritzi as the strong
man and the high diver, and even
watch as he is shot out of a cannon
into the audience. This miniature, family-friendly show was conceived by Ines
Zeller Bass and is now embarking
upon a new life in the next generation.
Ines’ youngest daughter, Shoshana
Bass, proudly continues the tradition,
inviting the power of imagination, play,
and ear-wiggling, scalp-tickling, heartwarming fun.
Sandglass Theatre’s Jana Zeller:
Punschi
Jana Zeller began
working for her family’s Sandglass Theatre at a young age,
as designer, painter, builder and performer. In 2001 she founded her own
puppet company Spybird Theater, and
has since created and performed
three full-length puppet shows for
adults and numerous short form pieces. She has collaborated with dancers, circus artists, and musicians. Her
work has been presented in the US,
in Canada, and in Mexico. Jana is
Co-Curator of the New Visions
Puppetry Series, and the Winter
Sunshine Series at Sandglass. In
addition to performing her own original work, Jana also hits the road with
one of Sandglass cherished repertoire pieces, Punschi: Enjoy a funny
adventure with Kasper, beloved hand
puppet hero of Germany. He wears a
stocking cap and likes to have a good
time with his audience. Kasper packs
to go on a journey, but before he can
leave, a cow steals his suitcase. With
the help of his best friend, the charming giant Augustin, Kasper has to go
on a rollicking chase to capture the
cow and his suitcase. An action
packed, laughing good 20 minute
piece that is performed under a big
sun umbrella and is accompanied by
a musical interlude on the ukulele.
Lissa Schneckenberger Band
Fiddler and singer
Lissa
Schneckenburger
grew up in Maine as
an active member of
the folk community,
where she learned to play at the feet
of some of the most venerable musicians in New England. Lissa has
played all over the world, including
appearances in Russia, Holland,
Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Canada,
and the U.S. Her latest CD “Covers,”
released in June 2013, is a mix of
beloved pop songs from the 1950s to
today re-imagined with the luscious
foundation of fiddle on each selection. While embracing a diverse pallet
of musical influences, she still stays
true to her New England roots.
The Speckers
An old-time
family trio
comprised
of legendary fiddler
John Specker and his two daughters
Lila and Ida Mae, The Speckers play
traditional American music as it’s
never been played before. Taking a
stand for honest, fresh music-making,
The Speckers are known for recordings that convey the energy of a live
performance. But nothing beats the
way this father and daughters trio
drives a flesh and blood audience to
near-frenzy. Get out your dancing
shoes and prepare to levitate!
Amelia Struthers
Amelia Struthers, performance artist also
known as the “Dairy
Godmother,” has been with the Stroll
since the first heifers took to the
streets of Brattleboro in 2001. Amelia
is a veteran entertainer, performing
throughout New England as an
actress, storyteller, comedian, children’s musician, and emcee, on
stage, television and radio. Since
moving to Brattleboro in 2000, she
has regularly performed comedy
improv, and won silver and gold medals, as well as a People’s Choice
Award at the 2002 International Clown
Convention for best sketch comedy
act. Her latest project, a CD called “All
About the Heart,” highlights her musical side; Amelia and her singing/
songwriting partner perform as
Vermont Timbre. Amelia is an educator who lives with her daughter, Maia,
also known as the Dairy Fairy and a
veteran comedian herself.
Swing Peepers
The Swing
Peepers, a vocalharmony 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!
Becky Tracy & Keith Murphy
Becky and Keith
are dynamic performers of traditional music from
Newfoundland, Quebec, Ireland,
France and beyond. Tracy’s fiddling
pulses through tasteful arrangements
of dance tunes and resonates with
beauty on traditional slow airs. Keith’s
gentle and expressive singing in
English and French is balanced by the
drive and power of his guitar playing
and foot percussion. Combined, they
produce a range and richness of
sound that is striking for a duo. Their
playing is seamless, the result of
years of playing together and touring
across the U.S., Canada and in
Europe.
Roger Treat &
Roger Kahle

Treat‘s driving style was inspired by
fiddlers he heard while summering in

“The New England Collection” by Maureen Mansfield
During Stroll Weekend
and all of June, visit the
River Garden to enjoy
“The New England Collection,” a show of the
art of Maureen Mansfield in our Gallery at the
Garden.
The Gallery at the Garden
is open during Gallery
Walk, Friday, June 3, from
Stray Cow, acrylic
5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Normal
hours are Monday-Friday
9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (except during
special events).
About “The New England Collection”
The New England Collection, by Maureen Mansfield, consists of 30 pieces of
artwork with her focus on environment,
peacefulness and sustainability in New
England. It is a collection of many different aspects of life – simple to complex
but above all depicting peace and freedom. She uses a variety of views and
creates a theme that combines her vision
and passion with the internal message
Off the Dock Fishing,
for each piece of art, either in watercolor
watercolor
or acrylic. Influenced by what she sees,
how she feels and what her mood is at the time of capturing a
moment, she sketches, paints at the location or photographs for
later use. Maureen states that her “artwork is how I escape from
the pressures of life, the stress that each change brings and the
sorrow that shadows our days and
nights. When I paint, I dive into what
I am creating and my problems
seem to melt away – nothing matters except what I am working on. It
is the best way for me to keep stress
at bay. I would be lost if I did not
have art in my soul.” New England
has been Mansfield’s home since
childhood. She has travelled around
the United States painting for private
Sunset Fisherman in Boat, collections; however, New England is
where he heart is. She states that “to
watercolor
capture the beauty of my roots and
share my visions with many is truly a dream come true”.
About Maureen:
Maureen Mansfield, the youngest of five children,
began her journey in art as a teenager in the rural
setting of Poughkeepsie, New York, creating charcoal sketches of the beauty in the Hudson Valley.
Inspired and encouraged by her mother, Maureen’s
love for art grew as she continued to develop her
skills using oil and acrylic paints. She continued
to develop and broadened her artistic skill by paying homage to
landscapes of the Adirondack Mountains, the northwest coast and
south western part of our country.
She did not attend an art school, nor did she take classes in her
earlier years, Maureen’s skills were self- taught. Not having any
artists in her family, she did not have much family inspiration – her
own love of art and encouragement from her mom kept her passion for sketching and painting alive. Her father was an engineer
/ inventor for IBM and her mother was a stay-at-home mom. Her
siblings are retired military, deputy sheriffs or self-employed. Other

Intrigued by the talent of her
favorite artist, Norman Rockwell,
attention to detail and having the
ability to capture the moment
as it is seen through the artist,
creates the stage for each of her
paintings. Maureen’s art work is
primarily in private collections
Tractor in Cornfield, acrylic
throughout the United States. She
gathers her inspiration through the uniqueness of our country side.
This encourages Maureen to delve into the beauty of Mother Nature by capturing her moments of splendor.
Ms. Mansfield has lived in the
Brattleboro area for over thirty
years, raising five children, and
enjoying her seven grandchildren
and three great-grandchildren;
and it was here that her interest
in water color came to being.
She signed up for her first formal class in art in 2006 with local
artist Karen Becker and began a
new journey in water color creations.
Vermont Sugarhouse, acrylic
Maureen’s love of art will continue in sketching, acrylic and watercolor. Her future plans also include mastering the skill of “etching
on slate” something she has always wanted to do. Brattleboro has
been a tremendous inspiration for her to continue her life’s journey
in art. Her previous exhibit at the Gallery at the Garden, in November 2015, was entitled “The Beauty of Relaxation” and many of the
exhibit pieces are currently displayed in the Oncology Department
at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital
where she has been employed
for fourteen years. Maureen
has a degree in business and
computer science and states
that her artwork is her “therapy
to reduce the stress of everyday
life and encourages moments to
relax and enjoy life’s pleasures”.

Welcome to the grounds of the Brattleboro Retreat! IMPACT
Advancing Leadership
The Brattleboro Retreat is proud to once again make our beautiful campus grounds available for
the Strolling of the Heifer’s annual Slow Living Expo.
Over the years, Strolling of the Heifers has become more than an annual parade and celebration—it has become a real movement in Vermont’s farm and food business that encourages local
entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainable living, and the values that create resilient communities.
Like the Retreat, our family farms have been part of the fabric of life in Vermont for generations.
Not only does Strolling of the Heifers help us honor our agricultural past, it inspire us to ensure
a future that is culturally strong, economically viable, and healthy.
www.worldlearning.org
Our hospital’s mission since 1834 has been to help individuals and families recover from mental
illness and addiction so they may reach their full potential and lead meaningful, productive lives.
In this sense we have much in common with the farms and farmers we are here to honor.
On behalf of our entire staff and Board of Trustees, please enjoy our campus and make this
year’s Slow Living Expo and Stroll a safe, memorable, and fun experience!
