We know you have plenty to do, but just in case your to-do list is feeling a bit short, here are a few fun stops to make…while you’re out shopping…

Skip all that crazy Black Friday nonsense and shop local instead during Small Business Saturday! Don’t forget to zip over to Clementine for an afternoon hot cocoa pick-me-up from the Middlebury Chocolates pop-up shop. If you’re headed toward Vergennes, swing by the Studio V 5th Annual Small Works Show for unique artisan gifts.

Looking to lift your kids holiday spirit? Treat them to a special showing of “The Polar Express” at Town Hall Theater or “The Nutcracker” at the Flynn Center in Burlington.

Need to get out some extra energy or take a break from shopping? Whirlie’s World and the Memorial Sports Center are offering extra hours this week starting today:

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
