The Barn on Gobeille Farms Music Night

Saturday August 31st 2019

Local legend Bow Thayer played acoustically while sweet and savory culinary guests, The Skinny Pancake Upper Valley and Dumps A Go Go, whipped up delectable treats and served excellent local beers. The Barn on Gobeille Farms was in full form as the structure glowed from within while outside, the evenings bonfire pit quietly smoldered. Sounds of clamoring guests hummed harmoniously with the clinking of beer glasses and strumming guitar chords.

The Barn on Gobeille Farms is the area’s new rustic wedding venue. The property boasts a brand new post and beam barn set abreast the highest point of the family farm land overlooking the Vermont hilltops. On a clear day, you can even seen Mount Mansfield, the tallest peak in the state. Patrick and Meghan Gobeille built the barn for their own wedding in 2015, knowing they aspired to host many more celebrations on the family’s property one day. Patrick Gobeille’s parents even renovated the 200 year old farm house which rests aside the private apple orchard. This home is available to bridal parties to rent for the weekend. Adorned with a babbling brook outside, two stone patios, lush gardens, spacious yet cozy bedrooms and a chef’s kitchen, you won’t want to stay anywhere else on the weekend of your wedding day!

The barn itself includes a built in bar complete with ice bin and beer taps. An upstairs loft and lounge provides a comforting space for guests to converse, or a photographer to capture the first dance from the highest angle. Outside you’ll find the bonfire pit, outdoor patio and lawn games. The barn comes with all of the tables, linens, and table settings one would need and even some decor.

As beautiful as The Barn on Gobeille Farm’s is, the music night did more than highlight the area’s new wedding venue. All proceeds from the event supported the Hartford Technical and Career Center’s Snack Program. Hungry students struggle to learn. So, HTCC’s Snack Program provides snacks and lunches for students who need it most. This program hits close to home for me personally. I can recall many days when I sent my children to pre-school with lunches comprised from items we collected from the food shelf, while I purely survived on granola bars and coffee. Coffee is a hunger suppressant but not a meal. When I look back at the photos of us during that time it makes me sad to see how delicate I had become. It is because of this experience that giving back is at the foundation of Kay Mae Designs. I am so grateful to be in a place where I can design events like these and support programs like HTCC’s.

I look forward to creating many more beautiful events at The Barn on Gobeille Farms! Be on the look out for next year’s line up of music nights.
