Please let us know if we have missed some of the real mountain folk who have died.
The 2014 Mountain Day of Remembrance will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28. Call us at 644-8144 if you plan to attend and we will inform the gatekeeper. We will publish the 2014 list soon.
Meanwhile, you may want to join us at the upper gondola parking lot Monday, Aug. 18, at 8:30 a.m. for the 25th annual Mountain Day: Hike to the Top of Vermont. Call 644-8144 if you plan to join us; we leave as close to 8:30 as we can. We divide participants into pace groups, so plan to be prepared and walk your own pace. We gather at the Mountain Chapel on the way down for a brief service. Some of us plan to cool down and share a meal somewhere nearby. Thanks to the Rev. John Nutting for starting and inspiring this hike day in 1990.
The 38th annual Polly’s Day and Walk is awaiting a date and good weather. It’s a short walk to the chapel for a service in memory of “Polly” Mary Donnelly Kieffer, the Kieffers’ 9-year-old who loved mountains and died of childhood leukemia, and was the inspiration for the development of the chapel.
