HARDWICK – A $5,000 goal to receive a 2:1 matching grant through the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Developmment’s Better Places program has been launched by the nonprofit Civic Standard. If the campaign reaches its $5,000 goal by May 10, the Hardwick Shindigs will receive a matching grant of $10,000.
The funds raised will support a concert and dance party the evening of the town’s Memorial Day parade, a midsummer block party and outdoor performance, and an early fall celebration with music and food.
“The Civic Standard is excited to expand their cultural programming with a series of music and food gatherings this spring, summer, and fall. These get-togethers will incorporate the many aspects of the Civic’s work in the community– interactive play, accessible gatherings, and food for all!” said Rose Friedman, executive director of the Civic Standard.
