Head spas arent just for hair!
Your scalp holds tension much like your shoulders or jaw can. They’re one of the only treatments that address the emotional stress stored in your scalp. That’s why people often cry, fall asleep, or feel euphoric after just one session. It’s not magic—it’s nervous system therapy.

Centering on Summer
Welcome to this issue of Best of Central Vermont, a celebration of the places, people, traditions, and small discoveries that make our region so rewarding to explore. Whether you are planning a long weekend, a scenic drive, or a season full of local adventures, Central Vermont offers an invitation at every turn.
Inside, we follow roads to some of Vermont’s most beloved destinations: the village charm of Stowe, the dramatic beauty of Smugglers’ Notch, the welcoming shops and flavors of Waterbury, and the timeless scenery of the Mad River Valley. We also turn to the Vermont Plein Air Festival, where artists capture the landscape in real time and remind us to see familiar views with fresh eyes.
For readers with a taste for discovery, we tour vineyards in northern and southern Vermont, stopping in tasting rooms where local wines are poured with pride, and every glass comes with a story. We also spotlight Coco Goose, a women’s fashion boutique with distinctive style, and preview two seasonal favorites: the Waterbury Classic Car Show and the Tunbridge World’s Fair, each a showcase of community spirit, craftsmanship, and Vermont tradition.
We hope this issue inspires you to get out, linger longer, meet someone new, and experience the very best of Central Vermont—one road, one shop, one festival, and one memorable stop at a time.

Have a PET-PERFECT Summer
Warm weather in Central Vermont offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors with your pets. Keep them safe while making the most of the season.
BEAT-THE-HEAT TIPS
Whether you’re hiking local trails or attending community festivals, it’s important to keep your furry companions safe in warm weather.
• Prevent heat exhaustion and dehydration. Unlike humans, pets don’t sweat efficiently and can overheat quickly, so always provide fresh, clean water and access to shade, especially when you’re outdoors. Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler and avoid strenuous exercise during peak heat hours.
• Avoid hot pavements. Asphalt can become hot enough to burn paws in under a minute on a warm day. A simple rule: If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your pet. Stick to grassy or shaded paths whenever possible.
• Never leave your pet in a parked car—even briefly. Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise dramatically within minutes, creating life-threatening conditions. This is one of the most common causes of summer-related pet emergencies.
PLAY IT SAFE
• Keep your pet’s meds up to date Summer is when ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes are more active, so make sure your pet is up to date on preventatives.
• Know what foods are no-no’s Some of the foods you love to eat at barbecues and picnics, can be toxic to animals. Never feed your dog chocolate, onions, or fatty meat scraps.
• Stay aware near the water Being in the water is a great way for you and your pet to cool down, but safety still matters. Always stay alert when your pets are in a lake or river and watch for signs of fatigue. Some dogs may even benefit from a pet life jacket, especially in deeper or moving water.
• Recognize the signs of heatstroke These include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or vomiting. You need to take immediate action if you notice these symptoms andmove your pet to a cool area before contacting a veterinarian.
Out & About
Summer is a lively time in Central Vermont, with many pet-friendly events and outdoor gatherings.
Concerts in Currier Park in Barre are free outdoor music events, where leashed pets are often welcome.
Farmers’ markets throughout Central Vermont offer local food, crafts, and a relaxed, pet-friendly atmosphere.
Consider off-leash destinations, like Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, a 150-acre expanse where dogs can roam, swim, and explore.
Mark Your (Pets) Calendar
JULY
National Lost Pet Prevention Month is an awareness campaign created to help families keep their furry friends safe. Because many pets go missing during summer parties and loud fireworks, local shelters in Central Vermont run targeted campaigns to prevent these heartbreaks.
National Pet Hydration Awareness Month is a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of keeping pets properly hydrated during the hottest days of the year. Dogs need about 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. For example, a 16-pound dog would require 16 ounces of water a day. Cats need around 4-6 ounces per 5 pounds of body weight daily. A 10-pound cat should drink roughly 8-12 ounces of water per day.
AUGUST
Check the Chip Day, August 15, is an annual awareness event that encourages pet owners to scan their pets’ microchips and verify that contact information is upto-date.
National Dog Day, celebrated on August 26, frequently highlights rescue awareness in Vermont through features on local news outlets, like WCAX News, and spotlights on local shelter dogs awaiting forever homes.
Clear the Shelters is a nationwide month-long pet adoption and donation campaign that helps find loving homes for animals in need. More than 1 million pets have found their forever homes since 2015.
Painting the Valley

THE VERMONT PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL OFFERS AN UP-CLOSE LOOK AT CREATIVITY
The Vermont Plein Air Festival, based in Waitsfield at Mad River Valley Arts, in collaboration with the Valley Artist Guild, invites artists, collectors, families, and visitors to experience the beauty of Vermont in a way that’s both creative and deeply connected to the landscape.
For three days, August 9 –11, from 10am to 4pm, painters set up easels throughout the Mad River Valley, transforming parks, village streets, farms, and scenic overlooks into open-air studios.
MAKING IT PLEIN
Painting outdoors—known by the French term “en plein air,” meaning “in the open air”—has challenged and inspired artists for generations. Unlike studio work, plein air artists must adapt to changing weather, shifting sunlight, and constantly evolving landscapes. Those challenges often produce paintings filled with movement, atmosphere, and emotion that beautifully capture the character of Vermont.
Visitors quickly discover that artists often notice details many of us overlook—

COFFEE at
from the reflection of mountains in a quiet stream to the changing colors of late afternoon light across a hillside. It’s a reminder to slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us every day.
Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush, the festival is worth experiencing, just to watch the creative process unfold in real time. A blank canvas slowly becomes a familiar Vermont landscape, as changing light, passing clouds, and the natural beauty of the valley influence every brushstroke.
ART FOR EVERYONE
Whether your preferred medium is oil, watercolor, sketching, photography, or mixed media, the festival celebrates creativity in all forms, and though nationally recognized painters often participate, the festival welcomes artists of every experience level.
Educational workshops, demonstrations and artist talks offer opportunities to learn outdoor painting techniques, while a Junior Plein Air program encourages younger artists to discover their own creativity.
Working from life, painters study the shifting light and natural details, concentrating on the scene ahead, capturing the atmosphere, color, and quiet rhythm of the Vermont landscape.
THERE’S MORE TO EXPLORE
The Vermont Plein Air Festival is also a wonderful excuse to spend a summer weekend discovering more of the Mad River Valley. Keep this list handy between viewing demos, exhibits, and artists at work.
Galleries: Browse Artisans’ Gallery on Bridge Street in Waitsfield for work by more than 150 Vermont artists and makers; stop by Mad River Glass Gallery on Main Street to see sculptural and functional glass.
Lunch spots : Grab tacos and smoked meats at The Mad Taco, wood-fired flatbread at American Flatbread, or a quick breakfast-tolunch bite at Toast & Eggs.
Shops: Browse 4orty Bridge Boutique for a carefully curated collection of sophisticated and fun casual wear, and continue to the Mad River Green Shops for gifts, toys, clothing, home goods, and handmade ceramics.
Market stop: If you’re visiting on Saturday, make time for the Waitsfield Farmers Market, where you’ll find local produce, prepared foods, artisan goods, and Vermontmade treats.

The Stowe boutique offers easy summer pieces with impeccable style
When you visit Stowe, VT, you are often pleasantly surprised to find artisanal goods, cozy cafes, farm-to-table dining, and a boutique called Coco Goose.
Housed in a charming 1832 farmhouse, Coco Goose offers an inviting destination where timeless architecture meets modern luxury. Browse an expertly curated collection of today’s most sought-after designers while their knowledgeable stylists provide personalized guidance tailored to your style. And if you prefer to do your shopping online from the comfort of your home, Coco Goose has a robust online store, offering all the brands you’ll see in person, along with your very own BFF stylist, to answer any questions you may have.
“Having both options feels like a natural extension of who we are: full service either way,” says Liz Atkins, longtime stylist and brand lead. According to Mary Lou Baraw, founder of Coco Goose, the store’s philosophy is “Fashion should make you feel good, look effortless, and carry you forward with confidence.”
INSIDE THE SUMMER EDIT
“This summer’s collection is centered around effortless sophistication. One side of the assortment embraces relaxed luxury, featuring beautifully understated pieces from Nili Lotan, TWP, and Veronica Beard that feel easy, refined, and endlessly wearable. The other side celebrates artistry and personality through vibrant prints and distinctive details from brands like Farm Rio, Ulla Johnson, and Alix of Bohemia,” says Mary Lou.
The store’s offerings reflect a strong movement toward texture and artisanal details, such as crochet, subtle embroidery, and woven accessories. Matching sets, relaxed looks, and lightweight layering pieces are also among the shop’s best sellers.
Items in soft coastal-inspired tones like butter yellow, pale blue, faded olive, and sunfaded reds are perfect for a beach vacation, and rich textures, such as raffia, woven leather, and suede, add a natural flair.
And no outfit is complete without a great pair of shoes. While refined leather
sandals and woven flats remain summer staples, minimalist sneakers, fisherman sandals, and soft ballet flats are gaining in popularity. Also trending: the iconic Frye Campus Boot, which pairs wonderfully with any piece, from a sundress to jeans and a basic tee.
DENIM ALL DAY
No matter the time of year, denim always takes center stage at Coco Goose. “We

pride ourselves on offering the best brands and the most relevant silhouettes each season,” says Mary Lou. Top trending denim styles include barrel leg and horseshoe, tailored trouser inspired, relaxed wide legs, and timeless straight-leg styles, along with ecru and whitewashes that look and feel fresh for the season.
While high-rise denim is still popular, mid-rise and low-rise styles are making a long-awaited comeback, so you can choose the fit and silhouette that’s most flattering to you.
Today’s denim is made to feel polished yet easy to wear, with clean lines, effortless versatility, and thoughtful details. Some of the best brands of premium denim offered in-store and online include Mother, L’Agence, Citizens of Humanity, Veronica Beard, and Nili Lotan. And no matter your style preference, the denim you choose at Coco Goose will move seamlessly with you, no matter where the summer takes you.
Your SUMMER SHOPPING GUIDE
Keep these three tips in mind before you buy:
1. FOCUS ON FABRICATION: Quality and lightweight fabrics, such as linen, cotton, silk blends, and soft knits, can keep you comfortable during the summer months while still elevating an outfit. Look for cotton and silk pieces by Ulla Johnson, everyday cotton pieces by Citizens of Humanity, and flowing knits and linen blends by Farm Rio.
2. BALANCE YOUR LOOK: Each piece in an outfit should complement the other without clashing or fading into the background. For example, Mary Lou suggests, “An easy linen pant paired with a fitted tank, or an oversized button-down styled with tailored shorts, creates balance and feels effortlessly polished.”
3. INVEST IN ACCESSORIES: A great outfit calls for a signature piece to tie it all together. A quality leather sandal, woven bag, layered jewelry, or lightweight blazer can complement and even elevate an outfit, giving it extra panache.
ClassiC Cars and Fair Days
TWO BELOVED EVENTS CELEBRATE LOCAL HISTORY, RURAL HERITAGE, AND SMALL-TOWN SPIRIT.

WATERBURY CLASSIC CAR SHOW

TUNBRIDGE WORLD’S FAIR SEPTEMBER 17–20
Few events capture Vermont’s agricultural heritage like the Tunbridge World’s Fair. Dating back to 1867, this four-day September tradition has grown from a local agricultural exhibition into one of the state’s most iconic gatherings while still holding tightly to its farming roots. The fairgrounds fill with livestock shows, horse and ox pulls, 4-H exhibits, agricultural displays, antique equipment,
handmade goods, music, food, and generations of families who return year after year.
During the day, visitors can linger in the barns, watch livestock competitions, admire quilts, crafts, flowers, and produce, or cheer on traditional pulling events. As evening settles in, the midway lights up and the fair takes on a festive energy that makes Tunbridge feel both timeless and unmistakably alive. www.tunbridgeworldsfair.com

VERMONT

Exploring vineyards from the shores of Lake Champlain to the Green Mountains
There’s something unique about touring wine country in Vermont.
Unlike California and France, where wine tours are about luxury resorts and celebrity labels, in Vermont, wine tours are intimate, scenic, and deeply tied to the landscape. They are about family-owned vineyards, crisp mountain air, lakeside sunsets, and tasting rooms, where the winemaker
often pours you a glass personally.
What makes Vermont especially appealing for wine travelers is the contrast between the state’s northern and southern regions.
Northern Vermont offers established vineyard trails and lakefront scenery, while Southern Vermont delivers a quieter, mountain-country experience rooted in agritourism and rustic charm.
NORTHERN VT VINEYARDS
Northern Vermont is considered the heart of the state’s wine industry. Vineyards are located relatively close together, making it easy to spend an entire weekend tasting local wines.
Centered around Burlington, Shelburne, and the Champlain Islands, the region benefits from the moderating climate of Lake Champlain, allowing vineyards to
grow cold-hardy grape varieties, such as Marquette, Frontenac, and La Crescent.
• SHELBURNE VINEYARD
For first-time visitors, Shelburne Vineyard is a good place to start your tour of the north. Located just south of Burlington, the vineyard pairs panoramic views with wine tastings featuring, dry reds, like their Marquette 2022, with notes of black cherries, red berries, and vanilla.
Also on offer are Louise 2023, a crisp white with notes of lemon and chamomile, and Whimsy Meadow 2023, a rosé with
notes of strawberry, tart cherry, and candied watermelon.
•
SNOW FARM VINEYARD
Farther north, Snow Farm Vineyard in South Hero offers one of Vermont’s most picturesque wine tasting experiences. Their wines include 2025 Vidal Blanc, a dry white with floral peach and pear aromas, and Naked Mermaid, a white wine bursting with grapefruit and orange flavors.
Snow Farm’s 2025 Pet Nat “Snowtrip” Red, made with Frontenac grapes, is crisp and refreshing, with red berry flavors and blackberry and raspberry aromas.
The cold-hardy grape varieties grown at Boyden Valley Vineyard contribute to wines such as Cowtipper, a popular white wine crafted from La Crescent and Riesling grapes.
Rose Red is a fruity, semisweet wine with grape flavors and hints of cranberry and raspberry.
•
BOYDEN VALLEY WINERY
All of Boyden Valley’s products are handcrafted in small batches in their fourth-generation farm in Cambridge. They use the highest-quality ingredients, follow time-honored traditions that have been passed down through their family for generations, and their products contain no artificial flavors or preservatives.
Their most-requested wine, Big Barn Red, is a bold, heavy-bodied, dry Bordeaux-style wine with overtones of cassis and black raspberry.
White wine choices include Cow Tipper, a fresh and fruity semidry table wine, with hints of apricot and pear, made primarily from Cayuga and Reisling grapes, Their Cranberry Wine is a semidry rosé, with a mild cranberry tartness.
SOUTHERN VT VINEYARDS
The southern Vermont wine scene is less developed and offers a quieter, slower tasting experience. Rather than concentrated wine trails, this region features boutique vineyards, which tend to

FIVE TIPS TO STAY HEALTHY this summer
Vermont offers many ways to enjoy the season, but when temperatures soar, heed this sound avice when enjoying the outdoors.
1. STAY HYDRATED
Sweating can cause you to lose up to 40 percent of your body's water, so staying hydrated in the summer heat is especially important. Here's how:
• Aim to drink six to eight glasses of water a day, even if you're not thirsty. If you don't like the taste of plain water, try adding different flavors to encourage water consumption.
• Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cantaloupe, or cucumbers to help your body maintain healthy hydration levels.
• Consider electrolyte drinks: If you’re sweating heavily electrolite drinks can help replenish what your body loses.
2. PRACTICE SUN SAFETY
Spending time in the sun brings benefits like improved sleep, improved mental health, and a more robust immune system. However,if you're spending more time in the sun, it's important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Here are some ways to practice sun safety:
• Wear a hat that provides sun protection for your scalp, face, and neck. Take regular breaks in the shade or indoors.
• Wear long-sleeved, lightweight clothing that will protect your skin.
• Use sunglasses to protect your eyes and never look directly into the sun Try to find glasses that block 99–100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation.
• Use sunscreen with at least 30SPF protection or higher. Reapply at least every two hours, especially if swimming.
3. BEWARE OF HEAT EXHAUSTION
AND HEAT STROKE
Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke, both serious conditions. Heat exhaustion occurs when your body overheats, and if not treated it can progress to heat stroke, a life-threatening emergency.
Some common symptoms of heat exhaustion include: Heavy sweating, weakness or fatigue, dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, muscle cramps, and headache.
Symptoms of heat stroke Include: High body temperature (above 103 degrees); hot, red, dry or damp skin; rapid strong pulse; and confusion or unconsciousness. If you experience any of these symptoms, move to a cooler location, sip cool water, and apply a cool wet cloth to face and body. If
symptoms don't improve or worsen, seek medical attention.
4. STAY SAFE FROM BUGS
Insects are a part of nature but don't let that ruin your fun in the sun. Here's how to protect yourself:
• Don't apply per fumes and avoid the use of scented soaps, which attract some insects.
• Stay away from stagnant water. Insects, especially mosquitos ,congregate around pools of water.
• Avoid wearing bright clothing and large flowery prints, which attract insects, including honey bees and hornets.
5.
LIMIT
ALCOHOL INTAKE
While it's perfectly fine to enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine on a hot summer day, be sure to drink in moderation. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can lead to dehydration, which can then lead to a variety of medical problems.
Symptoms of dehydration include:
• Thirst
• Dry mouth
• Dark yellow urine
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Fatigue

CENTRAL VERMONT OFFERS THE PERFECT RECIPE FOR RELAXED SUMMER DAY TRIPS
STOWE AND SMUGGLERS’ NOTCH
Although Stowe is well known as a ski town, in the summer, the vibe of the village changes considerably.
Start your day with breakfast at a local café before driving Route 108 through Smugglers’ Notch, one of Vermont’s most scenic mountain passes. Massive granite cliffs tower over the narrow road, and
short hiking trails lead to caves, overlooks, and shaded forest pools.
The Sterling Pond Trail is a favorite for hikers of average ability, while Bingham Falls offers an easier walk that ends at a picturesque waterfall.
After your hike, stop at a local brewery or browse one of the artisan shops in downtown Stowe. Also, check out Stowe
Recreation Path, an easy trail for biking or walking with the whole family.
WATERBURY AND THE MAD RIVER VALLEY
Another classic summer outing is a trip to Waterbury and the Mad River Valley. Waterbury combines outdoor adventure with some of Vermont’s best-known
food destinations. Ben & Jerry’s Factory remains a popular stop, especially for visitors with children, while nearby Cold Hollow Cider Mill serves fresh apple cider donuts year-round.
From Waterbury, continue south toward Waitsfield and Warren along beautiful, scenic Route 100. The Mad River Valley feels rural, with covered bridges, open farmland, and mountain ridges surrounding the towns. Look for summer farmers markets, roadside produce stands, and swimming holes along the Mad River.
QUIET WATER SPOTS
For travelers wanting to get their feet wet, Lake Elmore and Groton State Forest offer a quieter alternative to Vermont’s larger lakes. Lake Elmore State Park features a
sandy beach, canoe rentals, and a short but rewarding hike up Mount Elmore. The fire tower at the summit provides sweeping views across northern Vermont’s forests and hills.
Farther east, Groton State Forest has many lakes and ponds ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing. The area feels remote without being hard to reach. You can spend the morning paddling on Kettle

Pond, then picnic beside the water or explore one of the forest’s nature trails.
EXPLORING MONTPELIER
Montpelier makes an excellent starting point for day trips. It’s one the smallest state capitals in the country, yet it has a downtown filled with bookstores, cafés, and local art galleries. Hubbard Park, located just behind the city center, has miles of wooded trails and a stone observation tower that offers panoramic views of the city.
On summer weekends, community events and outdoor concerts bring residents and visitors together on the State House lawn. From Montpelier, you can also explore nearby Plainfield and Marshfield, where there are small farms that showcase Vermont’s agricultural traditions.
NATURAL SWIMMING HOLES
No discussion of Central Vermont day trips would be complete without mentioning its swimming holes. On warm summer days, locals head to natural pools formed by rivers and waterfalls throughout the region. Warren Falls in the Mad River Valley is perhaps the best known, with cascading water and deep pools surrounded by rock ledges. Other popular spots include Bartlett Falls near Bristol and the pools along the White River.

STOPS WORTH THE DETOUR
No summer day trip in Central Vermont would be complete without stopping for a roadside treat and the state’s iconic maple creemee at one of these popular stops.
The Filling Station in Middlesex
Best known for creative comfort food, especially loaded sandwiches, burgers, and hand-cut fries served from a retro-style trailer.
Woodbelly Pizza in Montpelier
A regional favorite for its wood-fired pizzas made with Vermont ingredients and cooked in a mobile brick oven at farmers’ markets and outdoor events.
Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks near Montpelier
A longtime favorite for maple creemees, offering visitors a chance to pair dessert with scenic farm views.
Canteen Creemee Company in Waitsfield
Where small-batch creemees, made with local dairy and seasonal flavors, draw steady summer crowds.
Palmer Lane Maple in Waterbury
A quiet local stand known for rich maple creemees and classic roadside charm.
