UNCOVER THE SECRET OF STOWE VERMONT
Enter to Win in the “Secrets of Stowe Sweepstakes”
Stowe, Vt (July 14, 2008) There are many ways to “Uncover Our Secret" in Stowe, Vermont this summer, and travelers can enter to win some great prizes, including a five-night stay in Stowe; a Keurig Coffee Maker, compliments of Green Mountain Coffee; dinner for 2 in Stowe, or one of those coveted gas cards. To enter, just go to www.gostowe.com/uncoveroursecret.
Stowe’s secrets can include the many singular experiences that evoke so many thoughts and emotions. Peace… tranquility…freedom from stress…togetherness and the urge to cocoon with loved ones. Summer is also the time of fabulous festivals, summer theatre, concerts in the pastoral Trapp Family Lodge Concert Meadow, and an outdoor sculpture exhibit that surprises and brings a smile at every turn. And for a leisurely stroll, a robust inline skate or a family bike ride, the 5.5 Stowe Recreation Path, with its 11 pedestrian bridges crossing the river is a must-do, as is the Quiet Path spur, where dogs are not only welcome, but rule.

Other un-coverable possibilities:
• Stowe Free Library’s mammoth Porch Book Sale
• Stowe Farmer’s Market: small but mighty, with great eats for now or later
• Late summer’s British Invasion— New England's largest all British classic and sports car show
• A Vermont winery tour (and kayak or canoe to get there)
• Good old fashioned swimming holes
• Soaring through the sky in an effortless glider
• 51st Annual Antique & Classic Car Meet, with Oldies Street Dance and Block Party on Main Street in Stowe Village
• Arts and crafts festivals featuring scores of highest-quality juried artists
Each visitor’s secret is their own, and there are so many to uncover in Stowe. And because Stowe is within driving range of millions of vacationers--Boston: 200 miles; New York City, 300 miles; Montreal, 140 miles-- this classic, historic New England village is affordably accessible

Located at the foot of Mt Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, the idyllic village of Stowe, Vermont has been hosting travelers for over 200 years. A true four-season destination of international renown, Stowe offers endless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Stowe offers nearly 70 unique shops, 40 restaurants, and almost 50 different lodging establishments, ranging from full service resort spas to quaint bed and breakfasts, all locally owned. As John Briley, writing for National Geographic Traveler puts it, “… the village of Stowe, settled in 1794, is storybook New England…” Bill Pennington, writing for the New York Times says, “Off-mountain activities abound, and the Mountain Road leading from the main village to the resort is lined with a classy mix of restaurants, bars, shops and lodging.” For more information, please call 1-800-GO-STOWE or visit www.gostowe.com.
