Hello to all on this outstanding weather weekend in the northeast! The 2019 NEK fall foliage festival dates are in and I will be updating the details of each of the seven festivals as soon as they are populated on the NEK Chamber of Commerce website. They are not to be missed! I'm so excited to be able to go to most of them this fall because I am staying in Peacham town the entire week! I've been to the Peacham, Barnet and Groton festivals a few times and they were so much fun. The chicken dinner in Groton is not to be missed! Festival fun and adventure awaits you and you will be surrounded with beautiful foliage and scenery as you travel the back roads in these quintessential towns in Vermont's gorgeous Northeast Kingdom (NEK)! (Incredible church suppers to top it all off!) :D

Stay tuned for details in the upcoming weeks! :D
