Looking for a Memorial Day Excursion? Brew Tour

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Skibrain

Mary Unwittingly emailed me this clip, which I will now post on SkiBrain…

Hello!

I’m writing to let you know that The Good Bus (www.thegoodbus.com) is hosing a Vermont Brewery Tour on Saturday, May 26th – Memorial Day weekend.  We will have pickup points in Killington and Ludlow, and will be visiting 4 Vermont breweries that day.  I’m attaching a flyer and hope that you can post this and/or let your guests know about this fun event.  We’ve hosted many of these brew tours in the past – and it’s always a fun time for all.   Long Trail, Otter Creek, Harpoon, BobCat

The price is $85/per person (or $150/per couple) and includes transportation on The Good Bus, local cheese and cracker snacks on the bus with a sack lunch, a beer dossier, tastings and tours at the four breweries and time for our guests to purchase dinner at Bobcat Brewery at our last stop of the day.

If you have any questions please contact me by phone or by email. Guests can sign up directly on our website, or call/email to sign up if they prefer.

Thank you and best wishes for a great summer season!

With regards,

-Mary

Festivus December, 2012

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Skibrain

The Mayan calendar runs out in December, 2012, on the winter solstice (December 21st).
How fitting and ironic it would be if the end of the world came on Festivus.
This would give a comical new twist to the idea of “Judgement Day”, don’t you think??

Festivus is a day known for the airing of grievances followed the feats of strength.
“I have got a lot of problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them!!!!”
Just imagine the end of the world coming after the infamous Festivus dinner, celebrations et al.
Picture a short and stocky balding man fighting his quick tempered father often dressed in moth eaten clothing,
airing his problems in his usual halting tone of voice.

A wonderful place to spend such a day could be in Killington where blue leisure suits with plaid shirts could still in style.
Yes, we are talking about a place built by “hippies” back in the 1960s.
Not to worry they have updated things by removing the shag carpets.
Just imagine a couple from some place on Long Island driving 6 + hours to such a resort.
When they finally arrive, they don’t want to even get out of the car.

Wouldn’t it be just too poetic to combine the end of the world with Festivus?
Spending it in Killington would add the final piece de resistance
