weekend…

05.23.2014 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

Hip, hip hooray we found time to write! Turns out adding one more member to the family somehow makes life 100 times more complicated, so we’ve been struggling to find time to write. Although we hope to continue adding our two cents more frequently with each passing week, please excuse our extended silence. However, do please hug or thank those wonderful guest bloggers who are keeping this place running. We are SO very grateful for all your help folks and have felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward all of you! Thank you thank you thank you.us-flag

So, on to the weekend! We’ve heard a lot about hiking with kids lately, so if your family frequents the Trail Around Middlebury, consider volunteering Saturday to help maintain the trails. For more information about how you can help be sure email or call MALT at 802-388-1007. The meeting time is TBD but the work will be done on the Jackson Trail. If this weekend doesn’t work out for your family, you can also help out June 7th on National Trails Day, again contact MALT for all the details.

The Saturday morning Middlebury Farmer’s Market is back in Marble Works, have you been yet? We also list information about other farmers markets right here.

Looking for kids gear, the annual sale Quarry Hill School Yard Sale is sure to have what you need. note: event canceled!!

Monday is Memorial Day and that means PARADES! Wondering where to go or how to hit them all? We’ve got you covered! Here’s the run down:

9:00am Memorial Day parade in Middlebury begins at Porter Field off of South Street in Middlebury. From Route 7, follow the signs toward the hospital onto South St. Porter Field is on the right (look for the football field), it finishes at monument across from the intersection of Route 7 and Washington Street. Expect to see antique vehicles, animals, floats, candy, marching bands. This ends early enough that you can zip up to Vergennes after for a double-header.
10:00am Memorial Day parade in downtown Brandon. Central Park. A very quaint event- a small parade, a few speeches and a 100 year old tradition of first grade girls placing flowers at the base of the Civil War Monument
10:00am Memorial Day parade in downtown Hancock.
11:00am Memorial Day parade in Vergennes. The annual Vergennes parade—the largest Memorial Day parade in Vermont— begins at Vergennes Union High School. The route will wind through the city and conclude at Vergennes City Park. There are 2 miles of color guards, veterans’ groups, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, lots of colorful floats, antique cars, parade horses, fire trucks, the Greater Burlington Cellarsavers, 12 marching bands, kids on bikes and a lot more.
12:00pm Memorial Day open house in Vergennes. Add your note to the mural of thanks for our veterans and active soldiers. The mural will be given to the American Legion for their members and visitors to enjoy.
1:00pm Memorial Day parade in Bristol. Ceremony with a Vermont National Guard officer followed by an open house at the Bristol American Legion.
7:00pm Memorial Day observance in Monkton.The Monkton Museum and Historical Society hosts this event, which includes readings from a number of Civil War letters written by a Monkton soldier. No restroom facilities. Free. At East Monkton Church.

And just like that, the baby is up. Enjoy your holiday weekend and remember to email us your suggestions!

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.
