All About
A Celtic New Year
The
goals of the organizing, nonprofit group, Friends of A Celtic New Year, are
to bring
the community together through music, dance and other forms of creative
arts and to provide
support for the growth and development of young local
performers. Money raised through
admission button sales is donated back to the community to
promote youth performance in
music and dance.
Over $5000 was donated last year
to local area schools, churches and
private organizations for the development of
youth performance.
Although the main theme of the event is Celtic music and dance, other genres of
music
performed by local musicians are also included.
These include rock, folk, contemporary and
and classical music. In fact, something to please
just about every taste in music.
.
Volunteers Wanted.
If you would like to volunteer to help out on the evening please contact
Tim Whiteford at whiteford@ gmavt.net. Volunteers
receive a free admission button.
A Shuttle Bus
will run all evening between the Middle School and the Village performance
venues.
Parking
is available in many areas around town:
the Old Cheese Factory lot, Richmond Corner
Market, Holy Rosary Church, Harrington’s, Richmond Free Library, Richmond Home Supply,
the Town Center, Volunteers Green and at Camel's Hump Middle
School. For safety and easy
access requirements please comply with parking restriction
signs.

Celtic New Year 2007, 08 and 09
In each
of the past three years between $5000 and $6000 was raised through the generosity of local businesses to pay for
the performers. Roughly the same amount has been raised each year through button sales and donated to local
organizations such as schools, churches and individuals for the promotion of
Celtic (or other music genres) performance in music and dance by local youth.
If you would like to sponsor the event please
