Winter and Local Fun in the Green Mountains

As the Green Mountains turn white each year, Vermonters and visitors head outdoors for all sorts of fun. As I type from the window of the Brown and Jenkins roastery sipping a warm mug of Estate Java, I'm thinking that staying warm on a cold winter day with my cup of coffee is just one of the great things about a Vermont winter. Smuggler's Notch and Stowe are full of skiers and ice skaters, local hills are covered with kids and families on sleds, and snow shoe-ers are out en force.

If you've got kids in the 4th, 5th or 6th grade and you're going to be in the area this weekend then you should check out the Winter Wellness Day's at Smuggler's Notch which are totally free!
Here at Brown and Jenkins, we just hosted the first Coffee Connection: Meet Your Neighbors event. It drew a great crowd of local neighbors and business owners to hear keynote speaker Megan Daigly who runs a really cool resource called Send Out Cards. She talked about making connections that matter and that people remember using this innovation technique to send out hand written and postal delivered cards using your computer. Check it out!

Also, we are planning the next Coffee Connection event and I'd love to hear your ideas for topics and speakers. What's on your mind?

Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
