Breakfast Club!: The Sandbar Bar & Grill - Take Two!
The Sandbar Bar & Grill, 59 US-2, South Hero, VT, US
Yes! The Sandbar Bar & Grill is finally serving a brunch! Truth be told, the menu is a bit lacking, but still we have chatted about exploring this new restaurant - let's do it! If nothing more, the views will be worth the trip.

The brunch menu can be found here . I hope you can join us!

252 Club* Bag: South Hero

WHERE TO MEET: Ask for the Vermonters Newcomer's table.

WHAT TO EXPECT: A fun time meeting new people, and sharing information and experiences. Your food and beverage will likely cost $30.

Just a reminder that meetup.com is a platform that allows us to get together without the assumption that event organizers or leaders are licensed, insured or experts. Please join us without the expectation of bubble wrap.

*What is the 252 Club? (Well, actually it's real name is the "251 Club," but a new town was recently added to the list.) It is a club that people join, touch all 251/2 townships in Vermont, and earn a certificate of completion. Peter and I are simply tracking the towns we touch on our own. Our rule is that we must do some type of activity in the town and then take a picture of ourselves (and anyone we did the activity with) near a sign or structure that is unique to the town.

Sourdough Roll Making
Sunset View Road, Sunset View Rd, North Hero, VT, US
Sourdough rolls - YUM! Just to align your expectations, although we have a baking oven and a few baking pans, we are not certified chiefs; we just like to mess around in the kitchen. With that said, Peter makes a pretty fantastic sourdough roll.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Learn how to make sourdough rolls! We hope to set-up the afternoon so you can see the stages of making sourdough rolls in an hour. Our goals is to have you participate in the sourdough making process, give you a recipe or two, show you our ingredient and send you home with some sourdough starter (no promises - but we hope).

We will have some soup and condiments for you to enjoy with your fresh baked sourdough rolls.

WHAT TO BRING: A beverage to share and a small jar for your starter.

PS - this is NOT a gluten-free event, and lots of butter may be involved :)
