Revels Kids Immersion Day Inspiring
  The annual Revels Kids Immersion Day was another enlightening and awe-inspiring event! On March 7th, children from the Revels Kids program were joined by young people of all ages for a half-day of fun and learning as they explored the music, dance, and traditions of Abenaki culture.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Name: Toni Hover
Occupation: Clinical Social Worker
Hometown: South Royalton

Role with Revels North:
Chief Cook during production week for Christmas Revels. (Toni's meals are notorious--the food she provides for the cast are amazing! -Ed.)

Involved in Revels North Since:
I first volunteered for Revels in charge of props in 1985; then I was a runner in 1986. I really started to cook when my daughter was first in Revels, around 1994. I arranged meals for production week every year for about 10 years or so, took a break, and came back after Irene destroyed so much of Revels props and costumes.

How did you become involved with Revels North?:

My husband, Stewart Ketcham, and I were in Revels in the early 80s. Then my children took turns being in the cast. I ran into Sherry Merrick at the grocery store and told her I was willing to volunteer, and she gave me two suggestions: T-shirts or refreshments.  I chose refreshments and that began this long journey of cooking for large groups.  

 
Fondest Revels North Memory: 
One summer my children and I were all in the summer Revels, when it was a traveling show. There were some very special times for the three of us together. I remember sitting in our car, reading them their bedtime stories before we set off for home, knowing they would be asleep when we arrived.
Fun Fact: 
My life has been enhanced these past 6 years by the gift of singing with the Dartmouth Gospel Choir.
