Stowe Performing Arts is putting on four outdoor concerts this summer in the Concert Meadow at the
Trapp Family Lodge. We attended the first concert, a performance by the
Vermont Symphony Orchestra, on July 5th. Nancy's cousin Bonnie joined us. It rained early in the day, but cleared up nicely for the concert:

A nearly full moon rose to our left during the concert:

The theme of the concert was "The Lake Effect," and every song had a water theme. This was in recognition of the
quadricentennial celebrations this year of Samuel de Champlain's voyage and discovery of Lake Champlain in 1609. Some of the songs were
Waves of the Danube,
Russian Sailors Dance and selections from
South Pacific. Afternoon became evening:

The concert closed with the
1812 Overture and
Hands Across the Sea, with fireworks:

After all, it was the Fourth of July weekend!
