Soggy Saturday at the Vermont Maple Festival
ST. ALBANS, Vt. (WCAX) – A soggy Saturday didn’t scare these Maple Fest goers away.
“I’m having a lot of fun,” said Violet Bilodea
Bilodea got her face painted and a balloon animal made for her.
“It’s a bat, and it’s black.”
But her favorite part? “Spending time with my parents,” said Bilodea. Families still enjoyed the rides, wood carvings, live music and everything maple.
“Selling milkshakes, sugar on snow, snow cones and sundaes,” said Brian Howrigan. Volunteer Brian Howrigan says the festival is a great way to appreciate Vermont’s foundation.
“Agriculture is kind of the heartbeat of Vermont and I think that it’s a good time to celebrate that,” said Howrigan.
And though Violet preferred when the wet weather held off.
“I really like when the rain’s not pouring down so my family won’t get rained on sometimes,” said Bilodea.
Her family still had a ton of fun. The final day of the Maple Fest is Sunday with a parade to cap off the weekend.
