The town of Craftsbury has received a $200 grant from the Streets as Places program to support the annual Craftsbury Block Party, scheduled for July 3 from 4 to 10 p.m.
Emily McClure, who coordinates the event from The Genny Craftsbury at 118 S. Craftsbury Road, said the funds will help cover costs for live music, barbecue, and family activities. The block party takes place in the village between the CVillage Store and The Genny.
“There’s a lot that goes on with live music, barbecue, and family events, so every little bit helps,” McClure said.
The Streets as Places program issued a statement expressing excitement “to help continue the tradition of the Craftsbury Block Party, an iconic town-wide celebration of small town spirit and neighborly gathering.”
The program is a partnership among Local Motion, AARP, Preservation Trust Vermont, and Front Porch Forum.
