The New Marlborough Land Trust is hosting a smokin’ Red Hot Blues BASH to celebrate the beginning of Spring! The Red Hot Blues Bash will be held at Gedney Farm on April 9, 2016 from 6-10 pm. The event will feature: a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Robert Burnell of Gedney Farm, dancing to the music of The BTUs (the Berkshire’s favorite rhythm and blues band), a cash bar featuring specialty cocktails and craft beer, and a unique silent auction highlighting our incredible community resources, both “natural” and human. Three “Unsung Heros” of the community will receive awards for making New Marlborough a better place to live and raise children. Proceeds from the event will go directly to programs that increase educational opportunities for outdoor learning and place-based education at New Marlborough Land Trust sites like the Lower Carroll Mill, the Joffe Sanctuary, 1000 Acre Swamp, and the Crosby-Robbins Mill.

Tickets may be purchased for $35 in advance at the Mill River General Store, by sending a check to New Marlborough Land Trust, P. O. Box 275, Southfield, MA 01259
