 I remember in the days, in the hills, on the hills, I think I see it still, way back in there the voices of the looms, when the apple blossoms fishing far, but yesterday. Hi my name is Constance Craig and I'm hosting an art market in my yard with my roommates and neighbors. I'm here and I do watercolor illustration prints of women in fantasy scenes. Hi my name is Julia Blanding. My shop is called Athena Weaves and I've been knitting since I was a kid. I like to knit a lot of tank tops and catnip mice but I knit everything under the sun. Hi I make resin jars with local flowers and glitter in them and my shop is Petra Flora on Instagram. Hi my name is Cassidy Sargent. I run Silverstream Jewelry soon becoming Silverstream Hoops. I've been running it for about 10 to 12 years now and I'm located here in Burlington, Vermont. I have some macrame jewelry that I've made right here and I have some collages that I've been working on. Hi everyone I'm Emma. I'm a local community member here in the Old North End and parent to a now first grader here at Sustainability Academy. And today at the Ramble we're filling the fence out here with love because back in May the third graders at Sustainability Academy made this great banner all of their own doing that said, hate has no place here and it hung for a good almost month and then the day before school ended for the school year somebody ripped it down and ripped it down as an act of hate so we're filling up the fence today as a community to say we stand with the third graders and their work and we want to fill this space with love and say we stand up to hate and it has no place in the Old North End. Hi we're here today at the One World Market part of the Ramble in the Old North End of Burlington. My name is Samantha McGinnis. I'm with the City of Burlington. We're welcoming about 30 local artists here today as well as food vendors, nonprofits and artists. I'm going to pass it off to my colleague Will. Hey how's it going? I'm Will Clavel also from the City of Burlington. Thanks for joining us at the One World Market. We've been hosting this event since 2013. It's a really great test market opportunity for local artists and makers. We've got about 30 artists and three food vendors from Samalia, Ethiopia and Iraq. We're so happy to have Juniper Creative this year joining us. They've got this great mural going on in the background and Addy can tell you a little bit more about what's going on here. Hey I'm Addy Livingston. I work for Champlain Housing Trust. We are the owners of the Old North End Community Center building. We've been working for the last year with folks at Juniper Creative to fundraise and get this mural going. Juniper Creative is here to talk a little bit about their piece. Hi, Jennifer Herrera Kondre of Juniper Creative Arts. I'm Will Kossel Kondre of Juniper Creative Arts. I'm happy to look into the camera. I don't know, but that's all I want to do. I'm Alexa Herrera Kondre a part of Juniper Creative Arts. So what you're looking at is Moringa the Medicine Woman who is part of our Afro-Pollinator series which started with Kalista Afronaut which lives at Champlain Elementary School down on Pine Street. As far as we're just having a great time, we believe in promoting art for community and black joy. A lot of black joy going on, on that wall. To say the least. We're excited to be out here today collaborating with Addy Livingston from Champlain Housing Trust and the whole team organizing the Ramble to be here. So folks in this corner have been able to paint shapes all day. They're still painting shapes that we're collaging into the wings of the Lunamoth. And that is an opportunity for the community to be able to contribute to the art making process. I'm Jeannie Wells. I'm one of the people that helps organize the Ramble and I'm here having fun, Charlie. Silly question. How's the day going? Today's going fantastic. Thus far, knocking on wood, no problems. Decatur Fest, well attended, totally packed. Live music, pretty much the entire time somewhere. DJ's right now. Yeah, lots of... I didn't get to go on it but Preservation Burlington raised $200 today on their want for over 60 people that attended their tour. 30 people showed up for yoga in the park and the garden tour was a huge hit as well. Lots of attendance this year. This Ramble was probably more head kick than most of the Ramble. So did this meet up to your expectations for what was going to happen today? Well, it's not over yet so I can't really say. But so far so good. So was it more difficult to organize this event than in the past? We had to learn some new tricks. We actually established an incorporated nonprofit organization and did all those grown-up things like we got a bank account, stuff like that. And that's been a challenge, you know? Just managing a lot of paperwork and dealing with lawyers and legal stuff. But it's worth it because one of our missions is to pay the talent and everybody that would be compensated for their creative contributions to the Ramble would have to be $10.99 and that is kind of like insulting because it's not like we have a ton of money to give them in the first place. But did you know who else is here? Do you see any familiar faces? Yes, I do. Heather, formerly Driscoll, is here also co-creator of the Ramble. What do you think? I am absolutely blown away. It's the most beautiful thing to see. This would be the Ramble's 18th year. Yes. Right? You're the only one that knows how to do this. Because 2020 we didn't have it. But the community just showing up just as I arrived in the old North End today to see so many people walking around enjoying the community, enjoying what the community has to offer just made my heart really warm and Genie's done an incredible job year after year after year since running the Ramble and just I'm really excited to be here and I plan to enjoy everything the Ramble has to offer. Heather, stamp of approval means a lot to me. Thanks, Charlie. Hi, this is Chris welcoming you to Decatur Street where we're having our umpteenth annual Decatur Street Fest which is part of the Ramble. Last year we obviously took a hiatus but this year because Vermont's been so good at vaccination we've been able to do our street festival again. The theme of it is bubbles. And if you come down the street we wanted to do bubbles because we've all sort of been living in our bubbles and we're kind of out of our bubbles now and we're trying to live safely around each other again and experience summer and all of the creativity that comes with the Old North End. Someone has to help by picking it up with your hands too. We have to use this fishing pole as work space.
