Despite the downpour, we had a great time at our Volunteer Recognition today in Bennington! Here are some photo's of the event, feel free to tag yourself if you're in the picture.

Our Windsor County Coordinator, Corey, visited the Ludlow Farmer's Market this past week. The Ludlow Farmer's Market is held every Friday night from 4-7pm through October. There is produce, baked goods, crafts, music, and food vendors. It's right on main street, you can't miss it. Great variety of food and people. Corey met several people coming through from Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and even Washington D.C. Come see Corey on August 12th or 26th! #Lu
