‘Sip & Shop’ returns to Rutland
RUTLAND, Vt. (WCAX) – A popular event in Rutland is pairing sipping and shopping.
Sip & Shop pairs Vermont-made food and beverage businesses like Rutland Beer Works and Golden Rule Mead with more than 20 small businesses throughout the downtown.
There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options at many of the stores participating.
While there are plenty of old favorites for folks to revisit, multiple new businesses have popped up this spring hoping to catch the eyes of customers.
Hali Issente with the Downtown Rutland Partnership says they are banking on this being a boost to business. “It brings in new traffic, new folks to get to see what they offer. Many new people walk in and say, ‘I never knew you carried all of this, and it’s really great to see that.’ And a lot of businesses have great sales during the evening,” Issente said. “With many new businesses opening in Rutland, they’re going to use this event as an opening day and a really great way to get folks into the door.”
Shoppers can take everything they buy or receive home in reusable bags. The event wraps up at 8 p.m.

DEC outlines wetland building policies
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Buying land is a big decision. With so much wetland in Vermont, state leaders are making sure you don’t end up in a soggy situation.
It’s American Wetlands Month, and Vermont’s Department of Enviromental Conservation wants buyers to be informed before they buy.
Regulations can impact whether a property on wetlands can be developed or require a special permit. Some parcells known as swamp lots are mostly wetlands and may not be allowed to be developed under state rules.
You can visit Vermont DEC’s website for a map of Vermont’s wetlands and development and permitting policies.
