ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain (Burlington, VT) – May 2015

 This was one of those items we spotted a brochure for, and thought it looked interesting.  Nine times out of ten, something like that is, so take advantage of it.  As it has a direct impact for the local area, I do recommend all the residents within a reasonable driving distance come and check this out.  It’s both fun and informative.  As mentioned before, the original blog entry gives all the specific details of the visit, so please refer to that.

Vermont Teddy Bear Factory Tour (Shelburne, VT) – May 2015

 The original blog entry details how I first heard of the Vermont Teddy Bear Company, and how it took me some time to realize it was a place I could visit.  This was a good way to spend a couple hours, and it was fun too.  There are places in your area that you’ve heard of, but just never think to go to.  You should, because this is an example of a nice little hidden gem.
