New Stowe Dining & Shopping Guide!

Thanksgiving means, obviously, giving thanks--for family, friends and for our own individual list of personal blessings.

Thanksgiving also means food , and on that note we'd like to draw your attention to Stowe's brand new Winter/Spring Dining & Shopping Guide. When you're in Stowe, stop in to our Visitor Information Center and pick one up. They're distributed all over town, too, so look for one at your hotel.




Thanksgiving also means spending time with the people that you truly care about, and this year StoryCorps, an independent nonprofit that has helped more than 40,000 Americans record their personal stories, is advocating the day after Thanksgiving as National Day of Listening. As one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, StoryCorps's mission is to help people honor and celebrate one another's lives through listening. The day after Thanksgiving is also National Day of Shopping, but you could put that off until Saturday or Sunday and avoid the considerable crush. (but don't forget our once-a-year, awesome Stowe shopping promotion,
Shop Savor Sip & Ski-great ski benefits!) Choose someone in your life to tell their story. StoryCorps suggests some questions to get you started:
What was the happiest moment of your life?
What are you most proud of?
What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life?
What is your earliest memory?
How would you like to be remembered?

It stands to reason that we can be transformed by choosing to be grateful for the people in our lives--whether it's the loves of our lives, our family and friends, or the people that pass through our lives every day by chance.
Happy Thanksgiving!
