Greetings!
Colorful September in the Mountains
Ah, yes. The kids are back in school and life returns to normal. Sort of. The best
news is that we are getting ready to see a bit of changing color in the trees.
That means Vermont's celebrated foliage season is at hand. It starts to flourish
mid-month and eventually peaks sometime in the first half of October. Have you
made your plans yet? If you haven't already signed-up, you can
Subscribe
to our free monthly Vermont.com e-letter to learn about special deals, values, and
ideas for your quick trip or vacation. In fact, you could win two nights at
The Inn at Quail Run
with breakfast, a winter sleigh ride, a gift basket, and even a hand made quilt.
The Inn was named the "Best Country Inn" by Deerfield Valley News readers. Don't
forget to check our
Fall Foliage Page
for current foliage conditions around the state. We welcome you to come for a
"colorful" visit.

Vermont Trivia
True or False?
|
Fact: Ben & Jerry's got
their start in a Burlington gas station.
True! - Ben & Jerry's
founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield started their ice cream empire in 1978
in a renovated Burlington gas station. Start-up capitol: $12,000
Fact: Vermont's largest
employer is the ice cream giant, Ben & Jerry's.
False! - Ben & Jerry's
is not the largest employer in the state. Vermont's largest employer is actually
IBM, whose Essex Junction plant employs over 7000 people.
Fact: The waste from Ben &
Jerry's goes to local farmers to feed their hogs.
True! - Some sources say they
like every flavor except Mint Oreo.

The Weston Playhouse presents it's Fall Production, Cyrano
The Weston Playhouse Theatre Company's 2005 season is soon coming
to an end and the Playhouse leadership has delivered it's promise of "stories
told as only live theatre can." The Fall Production, Cyrano,
will run Oct 13-15. Swordsman, poet and philosopher Cyrano de
Bergerac loves the beautiful Roxane, but his larger-than-life nose prevents him
from telling her. When Roxane falls in love with a handsome cadet, Cyrano helps
his tongue-tied rival win her hand, all the while longing for a love he cannot
have. Opening in Weston for one weekend only before its regional
tour. Mention VERMONT.COM when you call!
