‘Hug Your Farmer: Hard Rain’ is 7:30 p.m. is Thursday at the Flynn Center for Performing Arts. Tickets are on sale at The Flynn’s website and you’ll want to buy them quickly.

It’s sure to be a night of fun, funk and fundraising dedicated to farmers in need across Vermont.

The best part about this fundraising event? 100% of the proceeds will directly go to the Vermont Community Foundation’s flood relief fund. The Vermont Community Foundation, through their VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund, has already directed over $2 million to Vermonters who have been impacted by this summer’s flooding.
