The Butties to Perform at Okemo’s Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series

Ludlow, VT -The Butties are returning to Okemo Mountain Resort
for a free concert this Friday as part of the Vermont ski and
snowboard resort's Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series and
summertime food drive to benefit Black River Good Neighbor
Services. When concert-goers donate at least three non-perishable
food items, they will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win
Okemo lift tickets, new skis, gift certificates donated by local
businesses, and more.

Local favorites, The Butties are an all-Beatles cover band that
first played together at Syracuse University in 1983. Since
college, Sam, Paul, Mark and Robbo live in different cities
across the USA, but they stay in touch - and, to the delight of
their fans they get back together. When he's not playing bass and
singing with the Butties, the famous, yet down-to-earth Sam Lloyd
is an actor on stage and screen, best known for playing Ted, the
hapless, sweaty lawyer on the hit television sitcom Scrubs.

Black River Good Neighbor Services (BRGNS) is a 501(c)(3) charity
that provides private assistance to people in need in Ludlow,
Cavendish, Proctorsville, Mount Holly, Belmont and Plymouth,
Vermont. Located in the newly renovated Ludlow Community Center
Complex, BRGNS offers free, confidential help to financially
distressed individuals and families to facilitate their
navigation of the often intricate pathways to locate assistance.
The organization's primary focus is on distributing free food and
providing rent, fuel and other aid for those who meet specific
guidelines. Funding is received from individual and business
donations, some grants and local public sources. BRGNS also
operate a thrift store to cover some of the expenses of providing
assistance.

On Friday nights throughout the summer season, the lawn in the
courtyard at Okemo's Jackson Gore Inn is transformed into an
outdoor concert venue featuring popular local and regional
entertainers. Admission to the Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series
is free and the grounds open at 5 p.m. Concerts are slated to run
from 6 to 9 p.m. Families are welcome and all attendees are
encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets. In case of
rain, the concerts will move indoors. Dining options include
fresh-from-the-grill burgers and hot dogs, or full-service dining
with an al fresco seating option at Jackson Gore's Coleman Brook
Tavern.

Okemo's Adventure Zone is open Friday evenings for concert-goers
to enjoy as well. The Adventure Zone made its debut last summer
with its anchor attraction, The Timber Ripper Mountain Coaster, a
roller-coaster-like ride that follows the natural contours of the
mountain and allows riders to control their own speed. There's
also Lumberin' Cal Mini Golf, The Stump Jumper Trampoline Bungee
Jump, The Maples Disc Golf Course, Twiggy's Snack Bar and The
Ripper Arcade and Gift Shop. New additions this summer include a
climbing pinnacle, the Amp Energy Big Air Bag, Segway Personal
Transport tours, and debuting on July 14, Sawyer's Sweep Zipline
Tours.

Following The Butties on July 13, the summer lineup for the
Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series includes: Gypsy Reel, July 20;
Medicine Warriors, July 27; The Joey Leone Band, August 3; Jamie
Ward, August 10; The Chris Kleeman Band, August 17; The Sly
Geralds Band, August 24; The Kind Buds, August 31.
