Autumn kicks off a time of beauty in the Northeast Kingdom where people travel from all around to see leaves changing color like painted fire. This is also a time for Vermonters and especially Kingdomers to strut our stuff. The first few weeks of Fall bring several charming Fall Festivals and the kick-off event was the Burke Fall Festival in East, Burke Vermont. The Burke Festival ,like many others, have a potpourri of food, crafts, music, animals, yard sales and activities for children. East Burke already offers a charming atmosphere and add something like the Burke Fall Festival too it and you have yourself a great fall day event.
When you think “Vermont”, you might think about sleepy Sunday mornings at a local bed & breakfast, maple syrup, or the Breakfast Skillet at the Miss Lydonville Diner- but anyone that has visited the Northeast Kingdom (or at least seen pictures) visualizes a rugged outdoor terrain that is both beautiful and imposing. The rambling hills call to you, beckoning you to commune with nature and to find yourself, but you’re no Lewis & Clarke, and like many tourists you may have only enjoyed the view from the scenic overlooks off of I-91. Take off your chinos, switch off your iPhone, and strap on a bike helmet, enjoying the Northeast Kingdom just got a whole lot easier- it’s time to hit
