We were glad to add our voices to the excellent testimony and vibrant buzz at the State House Wednesday, rallying stakeholders to support legislators to get behind a proposed $500,000 of additional tourism investment. This infographic overview of VT tourism presents the overall status. We are grateful for the formation of a dynamic new alliance and caucus of legislators organizing to steer money toward this proactive investment.
It really felt like history was in the making, a pivot point to reinvest in this strength. Of all days to be at the State House… Mari looked up to see a real live Green Mountain Boy in full late 1700s regalia and quick conversation revealed that the Green Mountain Boys were raising their commemorative flag to honor Revolutionary War fighters.
Thanks to the members of Col. Seth Warner’s Extra-Continental Regiment, a volunteer group of living historians the Food revolutionaries at Green Mountain Girls Farm and the revolutionary Green Mountain Boys finally got a chance to meet!
