About this guide Winter in Vermont has its pleasures, but for many of us summer is primetime in the Green Mountain State. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day is a truly special time in Vermont for natives and visitors alike. That is why summer has become Vermont’s biggest tourist season.

Addison County has the best that summer has to offer, from Lake Champlain and Lake Dunmore to beautiful hiking in the vast Green Mountain National Forest, from the Revolutionary War sites at Mount Independence in the south to the historic Rokeby Museum — an important stop on the Underground Railroad — in the north.

Plan on fun and interesting things to do in our population centers of Middlebury, Vergennes, Bristol and Brandon, and don’t forget to take in the wonderful sights to see and things to do in the smaller towns and villages, as well.

There is a wealth of good restaurants, museums and shopping in the region, in addition to more outdoor activities than a single person has time for.

Let this publication be your starting point to the many attractions and events in the area.

But don’t be afraid to investigate the area more by asking locals what they recommend seeing and doing. There is something for everyone.

Whatever you do, relax and enjoy — it’s summer.

Addison County is awash in wildlife wonders Addison County is a wildlife viewing showcase. With a variety of habitats for wildlife to choose from, the Champlain Valley contains vast green woods, bogs straight out of a fairy tale, and even alpine tundra on top of Mount Abraham. The state is an avian crossroads, where snowy owls spend the winter and magnolia warblers spend the summer. From birds singing to moose bugling to fish jumping, here are Vermont’s premiere wildlife watching opportunities, and many of them can be enjoyed right here in Addison County.

HEAR THE FOREST COME ALIVE WITH SONGBIRDS No harbinger of nature is more distinctive than the sound of the birds singing in the forest. Whether it’s the flute-like song of our state bird the hermit thrush or the trills and beeps of a song sparrow, the forests and fields of Vermont become awash with music during the warmer months. Many green spaces are likely to have birds singing in the early morning hours. The area along Lake Champlain can be particularly good for songbirds, and can be accessed via several state parks or wildlife management areas.

LISTEN AS A LOON CALL BREAKS THE SILENCE OF A VT POND Haunting, eerie and unforgettable, the call of the loon may be the quintessential sound of Vermont’s waters. While it may be relatively common now, not too long ago these waters were silent, as loons were on the brink of becoming extinct in

the Green Mountain State. Fortunately, loon populations have started to rebound thanks to efforts from conservationists, but wildlife watchers should still take care not to disturb them during nesting season.

Loon locations vary from year to year, but any large Vermont lake or pond surrounded by wilderness is likely to have loons calling during the summer months, particularly around sunrise and sunset. Loons have been seen at Lake Dunmore for many years.

Waterfalls make great summer destinations ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County’s two dozen named waterfalls cloak themselves in forests, splash through downtowns, tumble over cliffs and burble happily along roadsides. Some seem to reveal themselves only at certain times of year, and still others persist only as rumors or legends.

Viewing a falls on a hot summer day can be refreshing, and hiking through the cool shade of the woods can be restorative in itself. But most of the falls listed here are either an easy walk or really no walk at all. Some waterfalls are bold and booming, like the cataracts in downtown Middlebury and Vergennes. These were the source of hydropower that fueled the economic growth of Addison County 200 years ago.

Other falls are narrow and picturesque.

Texas Falls in Hancock, for one, is simply beautiful. The boardwalks around the falls also offer a light ramble to see the various views of the falling water.

And some falls are best experienced from IN the water — think Bartlett Falls in Bristol or the Falls of Lana in Salisbury.

Take a sculpture tour around Middlebury

By JOHN S. McCRIGHT MIDDLEBURY — Summer is a great time to be outside in Vermont. You can ride a bike on a grand tour, hike to a mountain summit or swim halfway across a lake and back. But, honestly, we don’t want to be engaged in strenuous physical activity every time we get out the front door.

Fortunately, in Middlebury there is a great way to spend an hour or two out walking around town, soaking up some sun, taking in some fresh air and enjoying some really terrific public art. The county’s shire town is home to so many sculptures that it is well worth your time to stroll around and see a half dozen or more. They are made in many different kinds of materials, were produced with different audiences in mind, and provoke a wide variety of emotions.

They are presented with a mix of reasons: artistic, educational, expressions of civic pride and remembrance and even as a venue to relax and contemplate life.

Here is a suggested route you can walk through town. Move at whatever pace you find comfortable. Take time to follow diversions and see what happens to be around the sculptures you see. Wonder about how they fit into the landscape.

Gaze at the sculptures from many different perspectives and consider their artistic merit. Recognize the way they make you feel.

AROUND AND ABOUT & LOVE A good place to start is behind the

Mahaney Arts Center (MAC) on the Middlebury College campus off South Main Street.

The college campus features at least 26 pieces of public art by 26 different artists, many of them nationally or internationally known. You can find the full list of sculptures online at middlebury.edu, but for this tour we will just hit a handful of them, because we want to get further into the heart of town, as well.

Head to the parking lot and you’ll see

Bristol police promote safety with creemees

By CHRISTOPHER ROSS BRISTOL — This summer, young people who are “caught” by the Bristol Police Department — for creating or maintaining safe environments — might find themselves rewarded with a free creemee.

The first ever BPD Summer Safety Program, which goes from now until around Labor Day, operates in the same way the popular statewide Creemee from a Cop program does, though it is not associated with the Vermont Dairy Promotion Council or the Vermont Agency of Agriculture.

Instead, the program was cooked up — and is unwritten by — Bristol’s Free and Accepted Masons of Libanus Lodge No. 47.

“If a student is seen doing something positive in a safetyrelated situation, a police officer will issue a coupon good for one

free small creemee from Queen Bee’s snack bar,” according to a press release issued by the Masonic Lodge.

The Queen Bee’s is located at 1915 Hardscrabble Road in Bristol.

Bristol police will be also keeping a list, checking it twice and passing it on to the Masons, who will make regular announcements — in the Addison Independent and on the BPD’s Facebook page — about who has earned a creemee, and why.

At the end of the summer one lucky (and especially conscientious) student will win a grand prize — a banana split.

The program isn’t just about promoting safety, however, said Rick Taylor, a member of the Masonic Lodge.

“It’s about the ways in which fraternal organizations, the police and local merchants can come together and create strong community involvement.”

Bristol Band (Continued from Page 11A) As with her playing in those early years, she couldn’t keep up.

“I didn’t know where we were,” she said, laughing. “But I’d know the song, kind of.

You could feel the beginning, middle and end sort of happening, so I’d just keep waving. I think I sort of danced, too.”

But then as the end of a song approached, Gratton would panic because she couldn’t ever remember if there was a “stinger” — a chord, typically played by the entire band on the last beat of the last measure, that’s meant to punctuate the end of a composition.

“It was like, ‘Is there a stinger or no stinger — I don’t know!’ Then it would just ... end, and everybody would laugh and my face would be flaming.”

It was always OK, though, because the Bristol Band was never about the songs being perfect, she said. It was about music filling the air.

“People just wanted to hear some music, and between the 40 of us we’d hit the notes,” she said, laughing. “So you left feeling victorious over something.”

The experience of safety and support shaped her participation in organized music. She has played in the past with the Middlebury Wind Ensemble, and sung/played with various local bands in the past 10 years, including an a capella women’s group “The Treble Makers,” a jazz trio known as the “Girls Next Door,”

WHILE THE BRISTOL Town Band performs each week on the green, once a summer members take to the road and play marches and other upbeat tunes while riding on a float in the Fourth of July parade.

the R&B band “The Flames,” a Vergennes rock band “The Stray Dogs,” and last summer started a vocal/soft rock duet with Lisa Powell called “Sapphire Star.”

Plus, the Bristol Band also shaped her development as a music teacher, Gratton said. She currently teaches at Cornwall’s Bingham Memorial School, Salisbury Community School and the Vermont Day School in Shelburne.

“It really did affect how I teach

now, which is really like investing in kids’ whole bodies to learn music. I’m imagining my fifth-grade self, dancing, as I listened and soaked up the music.”

Times may have changed — the audience sits in chairs now, and the music has gotten more challenging — but some things about Bristol Band concerts feel eternal.

“I can’t imagine summer without them,” Gratton said. “It wouldn’t feel like

Bristol anymore, I don’t think.”

The concerts were always a sort of “safe haven,” she explained.

“Nothing bad ever happened on Wednesday nights. Well ... my brother got run over by a bicycle once,” she added, laughing. “But it’s really amazingly safe, still, even in this day and age.

“There’s something about the safety in a small town that is so comforting in this world now.”

AUCTIONEER BARB WATTERS cajoles bidders at last July’s Great Brandon Auction, inserting some humor and fun into the event. Over the three decades she has wielded the auctioneer’s hammer at this annual affair Watters has sold nearly everything from a Steinway piano to a urinal.

Brandon Auction makes it fun to buy with neighbors BRANDON — One of Brandon’s liveliest annual events — the Great Brandon Auction — always takes place on the third Tuesday in July, usually in Central Park. Again this year, due to downtown road construction, organizers will be putting up our tents 1 mile north of town right on Route 7 at Estabrook Park.

That means there will be lots of space, lots of parking and lots of fun on July 18.

The Annual Great Brandon Auction has been raising funds for Brandon Area Chamber of Commerce support and development projects in the town of Brandon since 1989, and it has grown into a popular summer event.

Auctioneer Barb Watters has presided over all three decades and the Chamber has turned over more than $175,000 into many town projects. Barb does an amazing job of enticing bids, keeping up the pace, and entertaining the crowd all at the same time. She’s auctioned off a Steinway and a urinal, fire hydrants, and Warrant Kimble original paintings.

Auction organizers have dealt with rain, winds, lightning, and even a power failure; but nothing has stopped it.

Brandon has proven to be a very generous community and Estabrook Park will be overflowing with items large and small. It takes about 50 volunteers to turn the day into a success and they are onboard and ready to work.

The Chamber invites you to be a part of the auction come July 18. Come to the spot just north of downtown and bid and buy. The preview starts at 2 p.m. and Auctioneer Barb Watters will hit the gavel precisely at 4 p.m. If you can’t stay, you may leave a bid with a Chamber staff person. BLSG Insect Control District staff will be spraying the night before so we will stay comfortable all evening.

Hopefully the Brandon Lions will be grilling dinner again and providing cold drinks and snacks so you can support two area non-profits without even leaving the park.

Bring a chair, a friend and cash or a good check. Combined purchases over $500 can charge with a credit card. Sales tax of 7 percent will be charged on all purchases except gift certificates and clothes so if you are a re-seller, bring your tax number.

Grab your tent & start to make camping memories

By CHRISTY LYNN Looking for a way to build a memory this summer? One of the surest ways is to pull out the tent and sleeping bags from the attic and find yourself a campsite to call home for a night or two.

Whether you’re an outdoor buff who wants to trek for miles and find a secluded site deep in the woods or on a quiet pond, or someone less keen to give up the comforts of running water or electricity, there are campsites with a wide variety of amenities and peaceful escapes to choose from right here in Addison County. Some offer electrical hookups for RVs, pools, lawn games and concession stands, as well as ample opportunities to meet other nearby campers or seasonal dwellers who call these sites home for months on end. Other sites are private and primitive, tucked at the end of a rough mountain road or nestled into the bend of a valley nights. You might remember the bug creek.

Test them out and learn your style; bites that stuck around for weeks after, practice your backcountry skills and but you’ll remember them with some sleep under the stars. Rig a hammock kind of nostalgic fondness that blends with the rest of the memory. and build a campfire Go ahead and embrace (provided it’s allowed and the layers of bug spray and safe, of course).

Vice president’s stop in Vt. included a creemee Many Vermonters mark the first day of summer not by some arbitrary mark on a calendar, but by the first day they stop by a local vendor and get their first creemee of the season. The cold dairy treat makes summer heat bearable.

But it’s not only dyed in the wool Vermonters who love creemees, people who come from away — even those who would call it “soft-serve” at home — come out again and again for creemee.

And it doesn’t matter what station in society you come from, everyone loves a creemee.

Witness a sighting last summer of a certain vice president of the United States standing on the porch of a creemee stand holding a cone with eight inches of creemee goodness twisting toward the sky.

Vice President Mike Pence spent his Labor Day Weekend 2018 in the Green Mountain State and enjoyed Vermont’s official summertime treat. News reports said Air Force Two touched down at Burlington Airport that Friday afternoon, and a motorcade took the Pences to spend the holiday weekend on Lake Hortonia in Hubbardton. While there, they stopped at local ice cream parlor, The Sudbury Shoppe on Route 30.

VICE PRESIDENT MIKE Pence and his wife, Karen, enjoy maple creemees from The Sudbury Shoppe during their visit to The shop posted a picture to Facebook Vermont over this past Labor Day Weekend. This photo was posted on Facebook by The Sudbury Shoppe.

Vergennes welcomes farmers market back to city green

By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — After two years on the North Main Street home of Kennedy Brothers, the Vergennes Farmers Market this summer returned to its former longtime home on the city’s central green.

“At a personal level I felt that the farmers market always brought a high level of animation and a certain level of excitement to the city green,” said City Manager Matt Chabot.

The market, featuring about 20 vendors, is open for its regular hours of 3 to 6:30 p.m. on the green and will do business every Thursday through Oct. 10 (except for July 4). The market is primarily an agricultural market with an emphasis on consumers having an authentic experience of meeting the producers face to face.

“Park Street will be closed and used for vendor set-up and take-down, then convert to short-term market customer parking. Vendors will be able to park one block away on Green Street at a lot owned by Burchfield Company,” he said.

Among items available at the market this summer are fresh baked goods, local meat, hand-picked produce from multiple nearby farms, and hot prepared food, plus and hand-made crafts and gifts and more. They added live music will be presented weekly.

“We are happy to be back on the green,” Reck said. “We have always felt that the market should be in the center of the city,” Reck said.

SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS

cultural.historic.sites In 1791 Quaker Thomas Robinson traveled from Newport, Rhode Island, to Vermont to make his home in a new state with a bright future. Over the next nearly 200 years, four generations of his descendants — abolitionists, farmers, artists, and authors — lived on the land Thomas purchased and his grandson named Rokeby.

During the 1830s and 1840s, their son Rowland T. and his wife Rachel G. Robinson put their beliefs into action and sheltered numerous fugitives from slavery. Their grandson, Rowland Evans, would mature into a successful commercial artist and beloved Vermont author, while their great granddaughters would have noted careers as artists. Throughout this arc of family history, members of each generation managed the once-thriving Merino sheep farm that evolved in response to changing markets.

Today Rokeby is a ninety-acre National Historic Landmark designated for its Underground Railroad history. The award-winning multi-media exhibit, Free & Safe: the Underground Railroad in Vermont, focuses on two fugitives from slavery and their stories from slavery to freedom, and the crucial work of Abolitionists working for freedom during the turbulent years leading to the Civil War. Visitors can also tour a notable collection of farm buildings filled with agricultural artifacts; explore historic orchards, barn foundations, and extensive interpreted walking trails; and attend a guided tour of the historic Robinson home, densely furnished with evocative personal belongings representing each generation.

Open daily through October 27, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided house tours available Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday (and by appointment) at 11 a.m and 2 p.m.

(Continued from Page 9A) housed inside, but for now linger in the garden observing the sculptures.

Last summer, the Sheldon installed “Big Fish” by Martin McGowan and “Anyman” (also known as “The Head”) by John Matusz. Both artists are accomplished sculptors and their work brings an added dimension to the Museum’s founding mission as an art museum highlighting Vermonters. The sculptures were installed in mid-July 2018 and continue until at least year-end 2018.

“Big Fish” is a hand-carved core of cedar covered with pieces of copper bathtubs, buckets, and old stainless steel water tanks.

For stability, the stand is a table leg welded to a truck rim base filled with cement.

“Anyman” departs from Matusz’s normal welded steel, stone and wood sculptures. A bust profile, it is fashioned from Ferro cement with a bronze metallic finish, accentuating the subject’s profile and contemplative, ethereal demeanor.

And it is over 5 feet tall.

A new piece just installed this spring is “Pipe Eagle,” the 2016 work by Addison County artist Eben Markowski. This lifesize bird made of steel is perched on a cedar wood post that serves as a reminder of nature’s fragility, but also its durability when legislators and the citizens heed the warnings of naturalists. Made almost completely from sections of varying sizes of steel pipe, the artist said his goal was to see how much expression he could tease out of these materials while working with their manufactured curves.

GRAVITY If you haven’t had your fill of Markowski then you are in luck. Head across Main Street to the Middlebury Town Office building and you will find an almost 10-foot-tall elephant that is spending this year guarding the small plaza fronting the municipal building at 77 Main St. This particular pachyderm is like none other: It’s another mesmerizing metallic sculpture created by Markowski.

She’s called “Gravity,” and is a creative representation of an Asian elephant. The sculpture beguiled folks for more than a year at her most recent preserve at the Burlington International Airport before being set up in Middlebury this past April.

The sculpture has inspired many reactions: fascination, for how the artist transformed salvaged steel into the skeletal foundation and plated hide of one of the great animals still walking the Earth; sadness, for seeing the network of chains that give the animal dimension, but also illustrates the servitude to which many elephants are condemned; and hope, for knowing that “Gravity” might inspire new generations to keep elephants from becoming abused and/or eradicated for their hides, tusks and bones.

Markowski’s elephant and eagle sculptures stare at one another across the sidewalks and roadways of Park and Main streets.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT Now, from contemporary sculpture to one that is a little more classical — at least by Vermont standards. Walk north on

SOLDIERS MONUMENT Main Street across the Battell Bridge and turn right on Merchants Row. Up at the top of Merchants Row, in front of Town Hall Theater, you’ll see a huge granite sculpture that is a little over 32 feet tall and about 17 feet square at the base. It portrays soldiers in Civil War uniforms. At the four corners are a cavalryman, infantryman, marine and an artillery gunner.

Commissioned by Silas A. Ilsley (you saw his name atop the front door of the public library a few blocks back), “Middlebury to Her Soldiers” as it is formally known, was designed by Marshall Jones and Seward Jones and dedicated in 1905. This piece of public art, if you can call it that, is from a somewhat different world from the one we live in now. How does it fit in with the other pieces you have seen? How differently is the artists’ society portrayed?

BIG YELLOW CHAIR Finally, stroll back down Merchants Row and across Main Street; take jog to the right and continue down Printer’s Alley into an open space between the Marble Works complex and the Otter Creek Falls basin. Five years ago the Town Hall Theater held a fundraiser that netted a bunch of art that was displayed in public — five over-sized chairs.

In the “Big Chair Project,” five local woodworkers crafted Gulliver-sized seats to draw attention to the nonprofit organization’s annual membership drive.

One of the artists was Nancy Malcolm, a woodworking hobbyist. She had worked on various furniture projects — including the occasional Adirondack chair — and was intrigued by the super-sized chair assignment. She used poplar wood to create a really big Adirondack chair, which is painted yellow. It is now placed in the park at the Marble Works overlooking the Otter Creek Falls.

This sculpture beckons viewers not only to touch it, but to sit in it, which results in some comical photo ops. Some art lovers may ask if the Big Yellow Chair belongs on this sculpture tour. The chair offers a good space to sit and discuss the question; and it is big enough to accommodate at least two people to argue the point.

LAKE DUNMORE OLYMPIC TRIATHLON

BRANBURY CLASSIC TRIATHLON 7/14

6/22 & 8/11

vermontsun.com • 388-6888

riathlon racing hasn’t been around that long. Steve Hare, who organizes Vermont Sun triathlons and running races at Lake Dunmore, was a body builder around 1980 when he considered taking part in a triathlon — a race that usually consists of a swimming leg, followed immediately by a biking race followed by a running race. The sport had been started in the mid-1970s and was starting to grow.

“I was a bodybuilder, getting burned out,” he recalled. “I had friends doing triathlons … I was into fitness and I got intrigued.”

He loved it and continued to compete.

He also began organizing triathlons when he moved to Middlebury Over the last 30-plus years, Vermont Sun Fitness Center has brought together thousands of athletes to participate in the annual triathlon series at Branbury State Park in Salisbury and Leicester. Steve and his wife Shelly Hare, who own and run Vermont Sun in Middlebury along with an incredible support crew, know their way around a race course, both as

race directors and race participants themselves. Their events are well-run, safe and the courses are beautiful.

Their annual Triathlon Series begins with the Vermont Sun Triathlon (600-yard swim, 14-mile bike and 3.1-mile run) and the Lake Dunmore Triathlon (0.9-mile swim, 28-mile bike, 6.2-mile run) on Saturday, June 22. After that the Vermont Sun Triathlon will host the Vermont USA Triathlon State Championship on July 14. The series concludes with the third Vermont Sun Triathlon and the Second Lake Dunmore Triathlon on Sunday, Aug. 11.

All the events are open to everyone and include many amenities. For details and complete information visit vermontsun. com or call 802-388-6888.

After such a successful run of triathlons, some ask Hare how long he will continue to organize the races.

“I say forever — they’re fun,” he said.

“Seeing a first-time triathlete finish a race — it is fantastic.”

It’s time to race Many people who live in Vermont and many people who come to Vermont in the summer share a particular trait — we love the outdoors.

There is plenty of natural beauty and recreational opportunities abound, making Vermont fertile ground for all sorts of outdoor races. From triathlons to century bike rides, marathons to 5K fun runs, Addison County is home to a variety of races that draw both local and out-of-state participants.

Many of the events highlighted this summer are centered on fundraising for a cause, while others challenge racers to do their personal best. Whatever your reason, we hope you join in the festivities and fun this year.

Good luck and go fast!

South Starksboro, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics We received quotes from Bristol Electronics and another well-known Vermont solar company, and were pleasantly surprised that Bristol had the better price, and we preferred Bristol’s microinverter approach. Additionally, we were very pleased to learn that the panels and racking system were made in the USA with some components manufactured by a Vermont company. On top of this, the folks at Bristol were such a pleasure to work with. We can’t remember a more pleasant experience when making a major investment. We had a variety of questions which they happily addressed. Their knowledgeable staff was well versed with applicable regulations and requirements, building codes and even wind loading concerns. They truly went out of their way to make sure we were educated on the system and pleased with the installation. This was a very rewarding experience which began with a goal of wanting to make our home fully renewably powered by working with a local team and culminated with meeting great members of our community, keeping our dollars local while also supporting other American renewable technology manufacturers. We found kindred spirits at BE and we can’t recommend them highly enough!
