Medieval Faire at The Grammar School – 10/18/25
From Sarah Mann:
Hear Ye, Hear Ye — The Medieval Faire Returns to Putney
Do You Dare Slide into the Dragon’s Lair?
On Saturday, October 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., The Grammar School will once again transform its bucolic Putney campus into a bustling medieval village for the 37th annual Medieval Faire. A beloved fall tradition for families across southern Vermont and New Hampshire, the Faire draws more than 1,300 visitors each year for a day of magic, merriment, and community fun.
This year’s Faire will debut a brand-new attraction for Faire-goers of all sizes: a slide into the dragon’s lair, built on the school’s new 40-foot hillside slide, which was installed last spring. Children can also ride the flying dragon and Sir Lancelot’s flying horse, fire an apple slingshot, take part in pillow jousting and foam-arrow archery, play life-size chess, ascend the climbing wall, battle a knight, scramble for treats at the candy catapult, make their own crowns and wands, visit the fortune teller, get their faces painted, and take part in a dragon treasure hunt. Attendees who complete the royal quest can be knighted by the King and Queen, who preside over the Faire on their royal thrones. For the youngest adventurers, Merlin’s Midway offers games just their size.
Adding to the spectacle, Vermont Armored Combat will stage thrilling demonstrations in full armor, with battles in the ring scheduled for both morning and afternoon. Live music and artisan vendors in the Medieval Marketplace round out the day’s festivities. Hungry fairgoers can enjoy a mix of hearty homemade soups, breads, and baked goods, along with fare from local food trucks.
Admission is free and open to all. Ride tickets and unlimited all-day passes ($25 for the first, $20 for each additional) are available for purchase in advance or at the gate.
The Medieval Faire is The Grammar School’s largest annual community event, combining family fun with support for student programs.For more information, visit thegrammarschool.org/medieval or call 802-387-5364.

CROP Hunger Walk – 10/11/25
From Ellie Shaw:
ANNUAL WALPOLE CROP HUNGER WALK
October 11, 2025
For over 20 years, churches and community groups in Walpole have joined together to raise funds that are used by Church World Service (CWS) to alleviate hunger, both locally and globally. The funds are also used to assist in disaster situations, sustainable agriculture, and clean water practices around the world. The Fall Mountain Food Shelf, our local recipient, will receive 25% of what we receive in donations, In the past, that has been about $3,000.
So please mark your calendar and join us on Walk Day, Saturday, October 11th at 9:15. We will meet at the First Congregational Church on the Common, where you can check in or register if you have not already done so online. The Walk is a three mile stroll around the village. To participate in the walk, to register, to donate, or to find out more about the CROP Walk, visit www.crophungerwalk.org/walpolenh. If you aren’t able to participate in the walk, but would like to donate, please consider donating, using the secure link.
The need is extremely great this year due to federal funding cuts. That reduction is being felt both globally and locally. The Fall Mountain Food Shelf will receive significantly less food and financial support from USDA and the NH Food Bank. Your support would be so appreciated. Thank you!
Note: CWS has received a 100% rating from Charity Navigator. Questions? Please call Jana Sellarole at 603-313-4076.
