i'm sure there are many threads about visiting vermont, but I am thinking of visiting this coming weekend and am wondering what the locals would suggest doing. I've been to Vermont before, but am curious about any festivals, art shows, etc. that may be going on. any suggestions greatly appreciated!
ps- I will not gawk at the locals or their dogs!

Deerfield Valley Blueberry Festival

Location: Mount Snow area towns of Wilmington, Whitingham and Dover Berries, vintage cars, music, food and tarp displays; if it's blue, it's probably happening in the Mount Snow area towns of Wilmington, Whitingham and Dover in early August. The 2008 Deerfield Valley Blueberry Festival is the culmination of a community effort coordinated by Janet Boyd from Boyd Family Farm in Wilmington in which dozens of businesses, organizations and individuals have created blueberry or blue themed events happening the first ten days of August.

Sure- you can look at Ch. of Commerce websites for Brattleboro, Bennington, and Marlboro, those are good towns to check out in So. Vermont for fun activities!

If you can hold off until the 16-17 there's the Zucchini festival in Ludlow. You haven't lived until you've used a zuke-a-pult.
