This Week in Stowe

  Special Events

The Ultimate Poker Charity Challenge - L.A.R.C.’s purpose is to create a multi-generational community facility that will provide a variety of activities intended to increase recreation, education, exercise and wellness among residents of Lamoille County and beyond. We are implementing new ways of generating revenue to help expand and enhance our current services offered to the families of Lamoille County including after-school programs, sporting activities and educational resources. In order to do this we must think out of the box and into the future with the creation of… The Ultimate Poker Charity Challenge.
