Several sightings of albino moose have been taking place from Montana to Wisconsin and New Hampshire and these recent sightings have Bennington Vermont residents excited as Moosefest 2009 approaches.
When we lived in New Hampshire, this festival was one of my familys favorite. Having moved to the Big Apple, we made the pilgrimage back each year that it is held. FYI: 2009 was the last festival. However visitors can still see plenty of painted moose around Bennington. On our return from a fun weekend visiting friends and sighting colorful moose, we discovered soggy rugs and wet floors and ceilings in our apartment. The upstairs neighbor had once again left the faucets on while running a bath and then forgotten about it. As frustrating and inconvenient that this was, we fortunately already had a carpet cleaners Brooklyn based company we could call. The first time this water mess had occurred I did a frantic search online for Brooklyn based carpet cleaners and discovered Sunlight Fine Rug Care. They did a terrific job dealing with our rugs. This will be the third time we have needed them. Although my neighbors insurance pays for the clean up, it is really an inconvenience. And she needs to come up with preventative measures so it doesnt happen again.
Lets all keep our eyes and cameras peeled. If the albino moose are bringing their families to Moosefest 2009, this year will be unprecedented with their arrival!
Moosefest 2009 proceeds will support Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Bennington Free Library, Young Professionals Bennington Center for the Arts.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About MoosefestBennington residents consider the painted and decorated moose sculptures as our in town Ambassadors of Friendship. The colorful moose are on the streets greeting guests from near and far.
How did all this begin? In 2005 two citizens from Bennington (Cheryl Wehrspaun and Sue Kline) were taking a day trip upstate, and came upon Brandons beautiful street art of grand and glorious painted pigs. The local folks were having a wonderful time, as well as the visitors to the town. Cheryl and Sue presented the idea of street art to the Chamber of Commerce. They suggested Bennington should have moose, because as Cheryl said, There is a mama moose that comes down from Mount Anthony to our little farm at least once a year. Everyone agreed. What better representative for Bennington and the state of Vermont than the noble moose? Like Vermonters everywhere, he is friendly, but not in your face. He tends to mind his own business, but is there to help his friends and family when needed. He is a good neighbor, and enjoys greeting people from time to time.
Most folks agree that the 2009 Moose are even bigger, and certainly just as attractive as those from 2005. They are definitely more spectacular in many ways. Many of the artists from 2005 have returned for Moosefest 2009. In addition, we have some wonderful artists who are new to Moosefest. All are sensational!
Once again we have nineteen beautiful school moose. These are smaller and have been painted by our school kids with the help of their teachers. Every moose, large and small, is for sale at the auction. School moose will be by silent auction. Proceeds from Moosefest 2009 are designated for non profit organizations, and the Chamber of Commerce.
Lindy Lynch returns as Chair of this exciting event. She is an extraordinary volunteer, as are all of the volunteers that make this event possible.
If you are looking for a family fun place to visit this summer, come to Bennington and see our new crop of moose. Our streets are alive with people visiting local shops and restaurants, and taking just the perfect picture of their favorite moose.

Once in a Blue Moose Adventures of Bennie the Moose Clan
Sincerely. Joanne LieuallenThe Story Behind Moosle Car by Cindy TaylorPosted on July 1st, 2009 by admin
Mooscle Car
The same week that I found out about the moose, my grandmother passed away in Colorado. I made a sudden trip out for the weekend to attend her funeral.
While I was there, I stayed with my younger brother. At night we hung out in his garage. He was excited for me to see his new toy, an airbrush. I had never thought much about airbrushes, but his enthusiasm was infectious and before long I was having a great time learning to paint true flames with him. (true flames are a current arbrush trend for cars, instead of the sylized flames from the past, these flames are painted to look like real fire).
On the last day of my visit, my brother asked me to go for a ride with him. Somehow we wound up at a big art supply store. We looked at the different airbrushes and tried out a couple. I picked one that I really liked and my brother insisted that he wanted me to have it, so he bought it for me.
By the time I got off the plane, I had the perfect design in my mind for my patron. An auto dealer is the perfect place for a tricked out muscle moose complete with true flames and chrome details. Mooscle Car is painted with Alpha Romeo 1970s red and true flames across his face, front legs, chest and sides. His antlers and hooves are painted chrome.
Cindy Taylor is a self-taught painter living in her adopted hometown of Bennington, Vermont. Her work can be seen 2 or three times a year in local Bennington venues; South Street Cafe, Kevins Restaurant and the 100 for 100 local art sale event.
Moosefest.a party for all ages!

The Bennington Young Professionals GroupThe Bennington Young Professionals Group is working towards creating a more inviting environment for an oft-overlooked demographic in our community. We target individuals and families who are in their 20s and 30s and looking for a greater connection with the Bennington community. Through our monthly socials we provide a setting for folks to meet both new and old friends, socialize, and network in a casual atmosphere. At the same time, our website www.bypforum.com provides a forum where folks can connect on a daily basis at any time and on any issue. So, even if you cant make the monthly social because of your recent newborn baby, you can certainly connect with the community on-line at three in the morning when that same newborn cant sleep! The goal of the Bennington Young Professionals Group is to create an environment that encourages young people to both come to Bennington, and more importantly stay here once theyve arrived through friendships, a sense of belonging, and most importantly a sense of community.
The Bennington Free LibraryThe Bennington Free Library was established in 1865 by Trenor W. Park and Seth B. Hunt, on the second floor of a brick building on the corner of Main and Silver Streets, gradually expanding to include the entire first floor. In 1936 a new library was built, replete with architectural details copied from area historic buildings, and library operations were transferred to the new structure. As library patronage increased, the library was renovated to provide much needed space in the 1980s. A bridge between The 1865 and 1936 structures was added, handicapped access was provided, and many more structural changes were incorporated, in order to continue to serve our communitys needs.
The Library has long been a transformational force in the community and strives to offer programming that satisfies the educational, cultural and recreational needs of our patrons throughout their lives. Story hours for infants and toddlers, speaker and author events, educational workshops on a variety of topics are just some of the many programs we offer in addition to our print, video and talking book collections. The library offers high speed internet access and current technology resources to all who walk through the door. Whatever you are looking for: current information and news, great reading material, current and classic movies or state-of-the-art computing facilities, the Library has it all, free of charge. Check out our website at www.benningtonfreelibrary.org or come to the Library in person to see what we can do for you.
