Rupert Rising Bread
Hello everyone. In addition to our regular distribution to
stores we have decided to offer fresh bread pick up here at the
bakery on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ordering ahead, even a couple
of days, is encouraged as it helps to plan how much to bake. We
will however have a selection here and you can call ahead to see
what’s available. We will also continue to be open for bagels on
Tuesday evening from
5-7pm.
If you like you can drive up to the bakery entrance, give a
little honk and we can bring products out to you. We accept
payment via Venmo, Paypal and Square as well as cash(exact
change would be helpful) or check.
Give us a call or text at 802-375-5250. If we don’t answer leave
a message and we will call you right back with a confirmation.
Baguettes, Ciabatta and Pain au Levain will be available both
days. On Tuesday we will also have East Street Wheat. On
Thursday we will have Semolina Levain. Our breads freeze
wonderfully if you are looking to stock up. Thanks and be well.
Jed and Mandy Mayer.

Battle of Walloomsac 2020-
Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site- Rte. 67 Walloomsac.
The Friends of the Bennington Battlefield,
together with the Brigade of the American Revolution, will be
hosting the 243rd Anniversary of the Battle of Bennington on the
weekend of August 15 & 16, 2020 at the Bennington Battlefield
State Historic Site in the Town of Hoosick, NY.
All participants must be members of either the
Brigade of the American Revolution, British Brigade or
Continental Line and must be pre-registered. Details with be
forthcoming!
Both Rebel and Crown forces will be camped in the
large fields adjacent to the Barnet Homestead (the actual ground
where most of Baum’s troops were posted).
Water, straw, firewood and necessaries will be
provided.
On Saturday morning those on the rebel side who
like long treks (approximately 3 miles) through hilly and wooded
country, will once again duplicate Col. Benjamin Nichols’
flanking march from the American camp to the area of the Dragoon
Breastwork.
A log breastwork has been constructed on the site
of the Dragoon Fort, and the rebels will attack this on Saturday
afternoon.
Late Saturday afternoon we will reenact
Breymann's advance and the rebel counter-attack. While most of
the original ground where this action took place is along State
Rt. 67 or on private property, a portion of it is near where our
camps will be so we will recreate the battle on that field.
On Sunday morning after Divine Services all those
interested can help in reconstructing the Tory Fort. Materials
will be provided. At 1:30 PM we will recreate the rebel attack
on the Tory Fort.
Troops will be able to break camp around 3:30
