This Spring, Leah Plante and Carrie Bladyka, two students who have taken Experiencing the Arts for several years, asked to run their own event. They coordinated a Punk Show with six bands (one of the bands was Mascoma's "Ian Kelly and The Love Handles" including several students in Experiencing the Arts). The students made all the connections, worked out the arrangements with the bands, did their own web pages, designed and distributed the poster. The Lebanon Elks allowed them to have the show in their lodge at no cost! What a better testimony to the effect of having participated in running our past Peak Community Events than to show the initiative to run an event themselves. The seventy two from the audience, together with the members of all six bands, made for a crowd of over a hundred. We are grateful to the Elks and Mascoma faculty for helping chaperone the event, and grateful to the Lebanon Elks for allowing us the use of their lodge. Congratulations to Leah Plante and Carrie Bladyka!
