BROOKLYN — The 22nd Annual Taste of the Valley was held on Sunday, Sept. 29, at The Golden Lamb Buttery in Brooklyn. The event ran from 4-7 p.m. with a live auction at 5:30 p.m. and a silent auction. Johnson and Wales University and Pioneer Auction Company helped assist with the production of the event, and The Taste of the Valley, which is put on by The Last Green Valley, gave a special thank you to Katie Bogert and her staff at The Golden Lamb for their gen- erosity, hospitality and assistance in making Taste of the Valley another success. This year’s event featured 12 restaurants that hailed from various regions of The Last Green Valley and included beverage tasting from Jonathan Edwards Winery, Black Pond Brewers, Pioneer Brewery, Sharpe Hill Vineyard, and Taylor Brooke Winery.

BROOKLYN — The Last Green Festival braved stormy skies at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds last weekend, starting out on the eve of a heavy rainstorm, limiting the number of attendees. The festival contin- ued on, featuring vendors, local and national musical acts on three stages, events for kids, including a musical pet- ting zoo, an art gallery, live art demonstra- tions, food trucks, and a focus on environ- mentalism and sustainability. Saturday’s attendance increased after the rain stopped, for a full day of music, games, activities, and information with the final act of the day, Third Eye Blind, taking the stage around 9 p.m. On Sunday, families came out to enjoy the day, bringing picnic lunches, spreading out blankets and chairs Quincy Mumford and the Reason Why took the stage on Sunday morning, play- on the grass to sit back and enjoy the ing a cool mix of jam music. music. The Last Green Festival’s flagship endeavor was met with several weather related challenges, however, bands and vendors alike had high spirits and passion- ately supported the overarching message — zero waste, environmental sustainabili- ty and the love of music.

A little cold rain didn’t stop these folks from enjoying the day. Live art demonstrations were going on all weekend long.

New Riders of the Purple Sage put on a show for the crowd. Sunday evening the popular band from the 1970’s New Riders of The Purple Sage rocked out.

2012 Subaru Impreza Should Have Been Official Winter Vehicle of New England

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

There is an automotive press associa- tion I belong to that annually votes on the Winter Vehicle of New England. The membership, myself excluded, took the easy road and honored the Jeep Grand Cherokee two years run- ning. The group overlooked a much better choice: the fully redesigned 2012 Subaru Impreza. It should have run away with the honors because you are not going to find a better vehicle for handling whatever New England win- ters throw at you while get 36 mpg highway. Both should be of great com- fort as the temperatures are dropping and gas prices are jumping. The 2012 Subaru Impreza is equipped as standard with Symmetrical All- Wheel Drive. It provides great han- dling in normal conditions and will churn through the snow probably bet- ter than most SUVs and CUVs because it’s lower to the ground. Plus, it’s going to stop better because of its lighter weight (ultimately the most important thing when fighting winter’s icy demons). Powered by an all-new 148-hp 2.0-liter Boxer engine, the 2012 Impreza comes The 2012 Subaru Impreza is slightly longer and lighter for much improved (36% better) fuel economy on the highway. with a choice of a five-speed manual transmission or the enhanced, second- generation Lineartronic CVT (continu- ously variable transmission).

It’s still a good price but don’t expect to get what you want at anything less than the premium price.
