Under a tent on the Green at the White Hart in Salisbury, students, parents, teachers and community members gathered last Friday for the sixth annual Wine Dinner and Auction. Money was raised to benefit the HVRHS International Travel Club’s 2025 trips to Italy/Germany and to Thailand. While students waited tables and sold tickets for door prizes, about 130 guests dined on roasted duck and various wines and bid on auction items donated by local businesses, artisans and organizations. Actor Sam Waterston spoke in support of the program, applauding the students for serving the meal and calling them the stars of the show. While final tallies are still being totaled, an estimated $50,000 was raised by the end of the night.

On Saturday, Nov. 1, the Race Brook Lodge in Sheffield will celebrate the Mexican Day of the Dead: El Día de los Muertos.

Mexican Day of the Dead takes place the first weekend of November and honors los difuntos (the deceased) with ofrendas (offerings) on an altar featuring photos of loved ones who have passed on. Elements of earth, wind, fire and water are represented with food, papel picada (colorful decorative paper), candles and tequila left for the beloved deceased. The departed are believed to travel from the spirit world and briefly join the living for a night of remembrance and revelry.
