Any word on who will be teaching and performing at the Pipers’ Gathering in Vermont this August?
I haven’t heard a peep. Anyone secured lodging yet?
We’ll have the big announcement on instructors in the next few days. Lodging is available for reservation already.
Dear Friends of the Pipers’ Gathering,
There’s an old saying that “time flies when you’re having fun”. There’s more than a grain of truth in that, as we can hardly believe this will be the tenth season that we’ve been producing The Pipers’ Gathering! We hope you’ll join us for a special 10th Anniversary event from August 1-4, 2008 in Killington, VT.
The Board is busy finalizing arrangements with instructors in preparation for the opening of registration in late April. In the meantime, the Killington Grand Hotel & Conference Center is now prepared to book your room reservations. Booking information for the Killington Grand and nearby locations is available on our web site at:
http://www.pipersgathering.org/LodgingGrand.shtml and
http://www.pipersgathering.org/LodgingOther.shtml
All of these rooms can be booked by calling 1-800-282-9955. Please be sure to ask for one of these rooms from our “block” of rooms for The Pipers’ Gathering in order to get the better conference rates. It is helpful to all of us that you book one of these rooms, as the rates for using the convention facilities are based on us utilizing these rooms. Do not book through the Killington website, as you will not get our conference rates and the room will not help fulfill our committment.
This year, our venue will be in the newly-renovated Snowshed Lodge, at the far side of the lake to the rear of the hotel. This means that we will be entirely separate from other hotel guests as far as workshops, symposiums, sessions and concerts are concerned. In other words, there will be more space to “do our own thing.” We’ve put up some photos of the Snowshed Lodge on our website; you can view them at:
