Im looking for events going on somewhere near the Fairfield or St. Albans area. I tried to search some up but found none.
Probably a long shot, just moved here and looking for music events to go to. I'm not on social media so I can't look on Facebook etc.
Was murdered by Hochul. Not Vermont but fucked up
Killer of chicken. What is it?
I heard that Firehouse is coming to Williston where I ❤️ Mac and cheese use to be. Does anyone know anything about it? I really hope this is true as Firehouse is legit the best sub place ever.
I was just driving North on 89 between Montpelier and Burlington and was passed by (without exaggeration) over 30 sports cars driving upwards of 100 mph and super erratically all branded “Dynamix” in orange in some capacity. The license plates were all from out of state but kind of from all over the place. Anyone know what’s happening there? Is there a car expo in town or something?
Hey y'all- me and my buddy run a building company and have work out of Rochester for the winter. We usually travel for work and are provided housing by our clients, but it didn't work out that way this time around. Having a hard time finding reasonable housing in the area! If any of y'all have any leads/are willing to take on two roommates from mid November till late January, let me know!
Hello! I am not sure if this kind of post is allowed but I have gotten pretty desperate.
My sister lives in Vermont and has for years, in the Essex-junction area last I heard. She and I are really close, but I have not heard from her in over a month. Drugs and domestic violence are a part of her story but she was clean for a while. I am worried by the silence. She does go dark every now and again, but not usually for this long and this time I have a bad gut feeling.
Are there any resources to be able to determine if she has been arrested, or is in a hospital, or has passed?
Any guidance you can provide to help me determine she is or is not okay is much appreciated. I have tried reaching out to her directly to no avail.
My brother (soon to be in-law) is nonbinary (assigned female at birth) and we want to get them a baller tux for their wedding.
Any leads on tailors or shops in/near VT that specifically work with nonbinary folks would be greatly appreciated!
Drove over an hour with Kids to find an empty expo with no signage and other families confused. Come to find it was cancelled, but they didn’t actively notify anyone

Tickets start at just $5 for kiddos 6 and under. You can get your tickets at the door or get them in advance online: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/greenmountainwrestling/1442861
We hope to see you next Sunday at the Barre Elks! Thank you for supporting our wrestling company and your local professional wrestlers!
Medicare Advantage changes force Vt. seniors to find new plans https://www.wcax.com/2024/10/31/medicare-advantage-changes-force-vt-seniors-find-new-plans/
Should we all vote for Bernie again? What has he actually done for VT in the last 30 years? You’ll all say this isn’t his fault blah blah he’s awesome and has great mittens
Time for a change
Where to get motorcycle inspected near St. Albans?
TIA :)
Fundraiser party for the Northeast Kingdom Rainbow Coalition NEKRC.ORG. It's going to be a blast! Hope to see you there!
Over my years in the state, I'm noticing something that feels unique to Vermont. A certain type of Virtue Signaling. For those unfamiliar with the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling
Do people here actually think putting a "THIS HOUSE BELIEVES IN SCIENCE/LOVE/KINDNESS" sign on their lawn is changing hearts and minds? Why does it feel like the majority of this state thinks that everything they do is earth friendly/not racist/extra organic and it makes them superior to everyone else?
Is it the echo chamber that our small communities have become?
Is it the lack of political and actual diversity among the population?
In short: Why do Vermonters Virtue Signal so much?
Any advice for someone who wants to hike the long trail? I know that is a loaded question. Also keep in mind I am a teenager and would be doing it with one of my parents.
Greetings. Looking for a new tax person as our taxes have become a lot more complicated over the last year. Barre Montpelier area please. Thanks so much.
Thought it couldn't hurt to ask here. I'm planning to maybe visit Vermont in December for an acoustic show/concert and was curious what could be a good way to find a low cost place to stay.
If it comes down to it I'll just got an Air Bnb but figured I'd ask. With the cost of gas and food the costs will all add up.
Thanks
I just noticed today that Londonderry transfer station is now going to start charging to drop off recycling starting Dec 1st... it has been free drop off for the last 5 years I've lived here... that being said. Why would I even bother to separate recycling now that I have to pay to dispose of it just like normal trash instead of just tossing it with my non recyclable trash... the only incentive for separation for me was it was free to drop off recyclables.
It gets me almost every time; it's spelled as it's pronounced. Fair-lee. That’s it. Anyone else have a town name in VT that seemingly gets butchered 85% of the time it’s said?
I usually just chuckle when it’s mispronounced and don’t think much of it. Occasionally, like now, I question everything. Wouldn’t your first attempt at a new word be to pronounce it as it’s spelt??!
Anyway…happy Friday :)
Wondering if anyone knows who the film crew on College St last was? Might need to contact them. Thanks!
My kids don’t have school on Tuesday and I took the day off, I’d like to take them to either of these rail trails. My kids are elementary age and tap out biking pretty quickly, probably 1.5 hours max.
To anyone who has been on these can you recommend one or the other, and any particular segments for best scenery? Thanks
Hi all,
I've been working on my ballot, and I've been able to find most of the information I need on the candidates on vtdigger.org . However, I can't seem to find info on any of the justices of the peace. Do any of you know of any resources on this? (Or even just news on certain justices being problematic or good?)
