I went to the 21st Annual Sheep and Wool festival last year and had a blast! While the weather was…read morerainy, there were still plenty of people there. I love talking to all of the artisans and my friend and I enjoyed seeing some of the "attractions", like a sheep shearing demonstration. This is one of the very unique Vermont traditions that I'm glad to have experienced during the two years I am living here. If you're interested, they also have some on-site workshops for attendees. I have not participated in one so I can't review them. They also have limited concessions available (Hot Dogs, Flatbread, and Coffee/Hot Chocolate, etc.). Overall, I had a very nice day there and is definitely one of the events that makes Vermont truly unique.

We visited Billings Farm because it kept coming up as a must-see stop on our New England road trip…read more I don't like leaving negative reviews, but with 4 teenage kids, the experience was very underwhelming. The highlight was definitely the baby calves, so be sure to time your visit since that area is only open during certain hours. You can only pet two of the milk cows in the barn, and beyond that there were a few horses, pigs, sheep, and chickens. It felt more like a large petting zoo than a destination worth the admission price. For our family of six, it cost over $100 to visit, which didn't feel like a good value. We have very similar farms in California that are either free or only a few dollars to enter. If you have very young children, it might be worth a visit, but for adults or families with older kids, I wouldn't recommend it.

This was a fun farm to visit. There was not an incredible amount to see overall, but we went during…read morethe baby animals festival, so there were a couple extra things to look at and some vendors as well. The museum was the highlight of the visit, with old farm equipment and interesting history throughout. There is also a small gift shop on site. I would recommend it more if you are interested in the museum side of things rather than the animals, since there is not a ton to do otherwise, but it is still a nice stop.

As if Woodstock Vermont wasn't already so charming, so beautiful and so perfectly New England,…read morethere is Wassail Weekend to make one fall even more in love with the village and with this part of the country. This event has taken place every December for the past 26 years. The town gets crowded as people show up from near and far to take part in any number of festive events transpiring over the weekend. One of the highlights is the parade of horses and riders decked out in early 19th century garb making their way along the streets of downtown Woodstock. There are riders on saddled horses and others in surreys and sleighs. Everyone waits for the end where Santa makes an appearance. And to keep things tidy there is a costumed man on roller-blades making fast and short work with his shovel of picking up the "droppings" the horses leave behind so the streets are kept pristine. There are various open-houses throughout town including one at the historical society, there's a reading of a Child's Christmas in Wales at the picturesque library, and later a big bonfire on the town green. You'll see throngs of people, dogs and kids on the town green and everyone it seems is in great holiday spirits. We always appreciate how welcoming and friendly the locals are whenever we've visited Vermont and Woodstock is no exception. Stores are open and beautifully decorated, some offering treats and beverages. Christmas cheer abounds. We love Vermont any time of year but for me, I truly find it a winter wonderland and love to go during the Christmas season. Although Wassail Weekend is over for another year, if you have a chance to visit Woodstock (and neighboring Quechee) before Christmas, I say take your horses and sleigh and hurry on over.

Hubs and I first fell for this adorable town in autumn of 2014 and just HAD to return for the holidays that same year (and every year after) when we found out just what the town does for their famous weekend. People were talking about it even in October! Besides all the charm the town has to offer all year round...covered bridges, adorable shops filled with homemade goods, family owned businesses, friendly inhabitants, historic farms, general stores, home made candles, made in the USA flannels and more, there's an entire weekend filled with holiday festivities.... Story telling, open house at historic homes, caroling around a Yule long bonfire, a life sized gingerbread house the kids will flip over, dog sledding, horse-drawn carriage rides, a horse parade and of course, Santa. The green is where 500 paper lanterns are lit and Christmas carols are sung is in the center of town. The Woodstock Inn sits just behind and is where most people prefer to stay. These rooms are the most popular in town and definitely fill up way in advance so book early! Don't fret if you don't have a room booked here, you can still enjoy a glass of wine by their lovely fireplace, charcuterie boards in the cozy game room and dinner at one of their fine restaurants such as Richardson's Tavern. Do not miss stopping by the Inn! The festivities run Friday through Sunday all day. There's a schedule of events listed in the event website so you can plan accordingly. The parade and singing are definitely highlights for us. Other things not to miss while in town are: -a trip to the Gorge...because it's gorg-ous (I can't help myself). If you're feeling up to it, it's a pretty nice hike to the base although the overlook is stunning alone! -dining or at least shopping and watching live glass blowing demonstrations at Simon Pearce. If you dine, ask for table #5! It's located over their waterfall and it's voted the most scenic in all of Vermont! We sat their for our anniversary one year and it was dreamy! The glass blowing is in the basement and There's a door that leads out to the waterfall! -We have enjoyed staying at Parker House Inn, a delightful Bed & Breakfast directly next to Simon Pearce with delicious farm to table meals. (This one is adults only however!) -A trip to Cabot Creamery for all the Vermont cheese tasting you can handle! If you're vegan, don't worry, there's plenty of other locally made things to taste such as maple syrups and mustards. -Made in The USA flannel at Woodstock Flannel Company. Ladies, you must own at least one pair of "vongs" aka Vermont things. -Mountain Creamy for peppermint stick ice cream. A perfect seasonal treat. -Bentley's for cocktails and live music. The place is always decorated so sweet for the holidays with tons of hanging ornaments above. -Woodstock Farmers Market for locally made wine, chocolates even candles. -Farmhouse Pottery for live throwing and the most gorgeous made in house, simplistically stunning wares. -FH Gillingham & Sons which has been family owned and operated since 1886!! Reason enough!! You'll find an awesome selection of craft beer!! Tons of local gems and the option to create your own 6 packs. Childrens' toys, locally made jams and such. I always pick up some paper white bulbs here too. Wassail Weekend is truly the "All American" Christmas experience, one you'll enjoy even if you don't celebrate. There's just such a love in the air, a sense of community and a warmth to the town. It's absolutely lovely!

We are not simply "button-pushers" or "iPod" djs, plus we have OVER 60 YEAR OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE! We regularly spin at clubs, weddings, parties and dances. 2kUL specializes in all music genres: oldies, disco, hip-hop, rock, techno, reggae, etc..

We had a lot of compliments from the guests on the music selection. Dancing was so much fun and the lights that he brought made it all the more enjoyable. The kids actually loved the lights and had a lot of fun! He also played our ceremony music, which was outside, and it sounded exactly how we wanted it to! He was able to adjust the processional song at the last minute to be a little shorter because the song I chose was a tiny bit too long and you couldn't even tell!

The main studio is the old Vermont Marble company store, which they have creatively restored and converted to this new purpose. The old quarries and marble works are also incorporated into the new use - a worthy commemoration of the earlier marble workers and their craft. I will stop by again and urge others to seek it out.
