Stratton festival draws praise and visitors to art show

The Seventh Annual Stratton Arts Festival opened last Saturday drawing about 1,500 viewers over the weekend. Designer Thomas de Giacomo transformed the Tyrolean base lodge into an art gallery amid praise from disbelief to admiration. The festival runs through Oct. 18 featuring concerts, demonstrations and events by Earth Theatre, Vermont State Symphony, Brattleboro Music Center, Marlboro Music, and The Syrotiak Marionettes. A major demonstration will be by Ken Mayberger a Cornwell weaver whose loom will travel to Stratton on Oct. 10. Mayberger and wife Sallyann have woven six and a half years and earned multiple awards including a grand prize at Atlantic City. He demonstrated Jacquard weaving for Mrs Lyndon Johnson in 1967 and is a Vermont representative to the American Craft Council. Mayberger contributes several pieces to the Stratton show including Ethel the Green Woman.
