The Fourth Annual Kismet Jubilee is coming to Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway on May 17. Sponsored this year by RE/MAX Presidential-Drummond & Drummond and Badger Realty, the Jubilee is a celebration of community, climbing, and Kismet.

The Kismet Rock Stars will also offer live music throughout the evening. Band members include Mary Bastoni, Molly Campbell, Chelsea Laguerre (Kismet Student), Zebulon Jakub, Mike Jewell, Alain Comeau, Tony Iorfino, and Mitch Scher.

"All of us involved in the planning are delighted to be hosting such a fun and meaningful event for our friends and community," says Garlick. "Plus, it’s the one night of the year all of the climbers in town get dressed up!"
