This weekend is jam-packed! Don’t forget to visit Downtown Newport on Saturday and experience the 20th Annual Chilifest! Grab a free ride with The Kingdom’s BEST Horse Drawn Rides, stop by the Vermont Works for Women booth for a metal stamping activity, check out the scarecrow and photography contests and quilt show with Newport Parks & Rec, say hi to our local radio station Moo 92, chat with League of Women Voters of Vermont, swing by the Gateway to grab a break from the action with Memphremagog Community Maritime – MCM, check out the kids carnival at Community College of Vermont (CCV), so much to do!
From 11-2, get a spoon for only $5, sample chilis and cast your vote! City of Newport Fire Department is defending their title this year as the best chili in Newport, and the competition is fierce! You won’t want to miss this one!
