QHSStart your weekend off tonight with a stroll through Middlebury Arts Walk (before the Tiger Football game, of course). We recommend a stop by American Flatbread to see the Quarry Hill School – 5th Annual Arts Auction show, get a bid number and bid on your favorite things. There are great pieces of art work, but even more exciting are the -new this year – Family Experience packages. Designed by parents in the know, these auction items offer families unique activities within the greater Middlebury community. The auction is up and open for bidding until Wednesday, September 17.
