Presidents Day gives me a chance to tap into my interest in history. Last year I wrote about Chester Alan Arthur's connections to #vt, & this year I took a look at the role Vermont played in Teddy Roosevelt's rise to the presidency. bit.ly/415kBqf

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for spring. I'm especially ready for the arts-and-entertainment schedule to start flowing like maple sap here in northern #vt. Check out these offerings for the merry merry month of March. bit.ly/3kCtBmx

The early days of the pandemic were especially hard on caroline rose, who turned the struggle into triumph - namely a new album, out today. We chatted about the album's #btv #vt roots prior to Caroline's two shows next month Higher Ground bit.ly/3FNRRcE

To mark its 25th anniversary, Higher Ground #vt is releasing a book detailing hundreds of concert posters it has given away at the end of selected performances. I hauled out my own collection of those to jog my memory of those shows. bit.ly/3nqoXsY

It's not quite gonna be the extravaganza it's been for most of the past decade, but at least we'll all be able to congregate in and around the #winooski #vt rotary for Waking Windows next month. bit.ly/3GmiNkg

There's a whole lotta stuff going on arts-and-entertainment-wise in #vt this month. I'll be starting my month of fun with Waking Windows in #winooski. Where will you be going in the merry, merry month of May? bit.ly/3HobEQD
