In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the narrator Scout reflects that “summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape…” What does summer mean to you? Drop by the Catamount Arts table at Dog Mountain before and during the Noah Richardson concert to meet 560 Railroad Community Artist Sonia Scherr and complete the sentence “summer is…” You’ll use paint markers to write your sentence on a flat rock that you can decorate and take home as a year-round reminder of this fleeting season. Sonia will offer this activity again during St. Johnsbury’s Final Friday event on August 28. These activities are offered free of charge, thanks to generous support from an anonymous donor; donations are gratefully accepted to support future 560 Railroad Community Artists.
Sonia Scherr writes fiction and nonfiction and enjoys creating opportunities for people to connect with their community through the arts. Now an educator at the nonprofit Egan Maritime Institute on Nantucket, she previously worked as community coordinator at central Vermont’s Cabot School to expand out-of-classroom learning. She has a background in journalism and communications and has published short stories in literary journals, including Gargoyle Magazine, Jabberwock Review, Blue Earth Review and poemmemoirstory. Having grown up in Norwich and lived in the Northeast Kingdom, she is excited to work with the St. Johnsbury community as a 560 Railroad Street Community Artist.
