Events July 21 - 23, 2006
There are two big events this weekend, both in Burlington, one public and one private. The public event is the Vermont Vermont Brewers Festival, a very popular event at the Waterfront Park, rain or shine. The private event is the BMW Motorycle Owners International Rally at the Champlain Valley Fair Grounds.
There are many other events throughout Vermont. Here is a sampling:

Cow Appreciation Day
at Billings Farm & Museum. This is a very good family activity where you can learn about cows, judging which ones are best, milking, making butter, cream, and ice cream. Billings is a model farm and is set up for visitors. We often have guests at our inn who want to visit a “real farm” but most farmers are not set up to receive visitors. Most of them are very nice folks but they are often just too busy to chat with visitors, much as they might like to. Billings is a great place to see a working farm where it is easier and safer to get around. It’s a beautiful facility, very clean, professionally managed.

Stowe Summer Attractions Open June 24 - 26, 2006
This week brings the opening of the Alpine Slide (shown above), Bungee Trampolines, and new Inflatable Obstacle Course at the Spruce Peak section of the Stowe ski area.
The Alpine Slide is a lot of fun for children and adults. You ride a ski chair lift to the top of a large hill and then ride plastic carts on wheels down a fiberglass track. You can control the speed with a hand lever. I think the minimum age might be seven years old. Younger children can ride with adults.
