CASA Palooza Returns to Rutland with Music, Community, and a Mission

CASA Palooza will feature five different bands playing a variety of genres, including acoustic, classic rock, punk, funk/blues, and 80s/90s/2000s hits. New features for the year included a “Community Collective” vendor fair showcasing local artists and small businesses, as well as more food options, face painting, henna art, and caricature artists.  The proceeds directly support CASA Project Worcester County mission to advocate for vulnerable children in foster care on their path to a safe and permanent home. As Lili Barkow says “Community events like this not only bring the community together, but it creates a welcoming environment to find new volunteers, find new donors, find new community partners who want to support our mission in whatever way possible.” Keith Pettit tells us why CINCH IT is once again the sponsor, “For me, this was unique to something I was passionate about. So it was kind of a no-brainer, something where it combines music to helping a great cause.”
