About the Book: With a small herd of cows to milk every day, Vermont dairy farmer, George Woodard has squeezed in directing, shooting, and editing two farm-related critically acclaimed feature films. The Summer of Walter Hacks, a mystery adventure where an eleven year old fiddle-playing farm boy in1952 rides around town on his bicycle fixing farm equipment. And The Farm Boy, a WWII era love story about a young man who drives milk truck for his father and later ends up in Belgium in what would become the Battle of the Bulge. Both films are in black and white using camera techniques of those time periods. And now George has released his first children’s book, The Christmas Calf. Illustrated in black and white, he has used his filmmaking knowledge of shot lists and story boards combined with his farm experiences to create a heart-warming story that all farmers will recognize. It is a children’s book for ages eight to eighty and beyond. With over sixty pen and ink drawings, the story is about a nine-year old boy who goes to the barn on a cold winter night to check a cow expecting a calf…and it’s on Christmas Eve. A whimsical tale of wonder and delight, The Christmas Calf invites you to be part of something truly magical. About the Author: Why a black & white book about a boy’s adventures with cows and music? That’s George Woodard. A dairy farmer with a movie camera who used his son in two black and white feature films between milking his 25 cows every day. ‘ The Summer of Walter Hacks’, a 1952 mystery about an 11-year old fiddle playing farm boy who rides around town on a bicycle fixing farm equipment. And ‘ The Farm Boy’, a 1944 love story and war driven adventure through the Ardennes forest in Belgium during what would become known as the Battle of the Bulge. Both critically acclaimed films were mostly shot on his farm. Music? The films were financed mostly from ‘The Ground Hog Opry’, an old time radio stage show Mr. Woodard created which became popular to sold out Opera Houses and Town Halls all across Vermont. And that’s why a black & white book about a boy’s adventures with cows and music. George is also a two time award winning film actor, a Country Music contest winner, a National Jr. College cross country ski champion and an award winning filmmaker. Mostly he milked cows. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/stowe/author-event-george-woodard-at-bear-pond-books-in-stowe/200028881140823 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, literary-art, trips-adventures, christmas, contests, sports, theatre, country-music-festivals, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://facebook.com/200028881140823?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=stowe-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Stowe - **state**: VT - **country**: United States - **location**: 38 Main St/The Depot Building, Stowe, VT, United States, Vermont 05672 - **lat**: 44.46469 - **long**: -72.68672 - **full address**: 38 Main St/The Depot Building, Stowe, VT, United States, Vermont 05672 ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Bear Pond Books-Stowe (https://allevents.in/org/bear-pond-books-stowe/26034892) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/22129f1c02844130c4888680008345d9769adb89e4079f8e91c3b6830994906c-rimg-w1200-h628-dc152c70-gmir?v=1764397333 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6a16ee08319a03ad93869428eb152a8bbc3c217ee9c54b8b118d9c2437f26b01-rimg-w300-h300-dc152c70-gmir?v=1764397334 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 06 Dec, 2025 at 11:00 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 38 Main St/The Depot Building, Stowe, VT, United States, Vermont 05672 - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Bear Pond Books-Stowe - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, entertainment, literary-art, trips-adventures, christmas, contests, sports, theatre, country-music-festivals, fine-arts - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Author Event: George Woodard at Bear Pond Books in Stowe! ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Author Event: George Woodard at Bear Pond Books in Stowe!", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/22129f1c02844130c4888680008345d9769adb89e4079f8e91c3b6830994906c-rimg-w1200-h628-dc152c70-gmir?v=1764397333", "startDate": "2025-12-06", "endDate": "2025-12-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/stowe/author-event-george-woodard-at-bear-pond-books-in-stowe/200028881140823", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "38 Main St/The Depot Building, Stowe, VT, United States, Vermont 05672", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "48 Depot St, Stowe, VT 05672, United States", "addressLocality": "Stowe", "addressRegion": "VT", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "44.46469", "longitude": "-72.68672" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "We are excited to welcome author, George Woodard, to Bear Pond Books promoting his book, \"The Christmas Calf\" on Saturday, 12/6 from 11am to 1pm.\n\nAbout the Book:\n\nWith a small herd of cows to milk every day, Vermont dairy farmer, George Woodard has squeezed in directing, shooting, and editing two f", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Bear Pond Books-Stowe", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/bear-pond-books-stowe/26034892" } ] } ] ```
