Fall foliage is not just a tradition in Vermont , it is part of Vermont ’ s identity . Therefore , this year , we have created a Fall photo essay ( Page 4 ).

Homegrown music is also a part of Vermont ’ s identity . And one of “ Vermont ’ s own ”, Grace Potter ( pictured on the cover ), has found great success on the international stage .
Several members of our team spent the day “ At Home with Grace Potter .” Nothing could have prepared us for the megawatt energy that IS Grace Potter .
They say a picture is worth a thousand words , so in addition to the Q & A , we hope the accompanying photos by Gregory Cherin give you some sense of what it is to spend some time with the dynamic musical artist .
As always , in this issue , we share stories of Vermont ’ s history , businesses , and towns ; but I would like to single out one key article : our “ Giving Back ” feature on the Vermont Community Foundation ’ s ( VCF ) flood relief efforts ( Page 56 ).
The July 2023 Flood was devastating to many parts of Vermont . Please support the VCF ’ s Flood Response Fund – and please support local businesses . Fall tourism and holiday shopping are critical to the economy of Vermont .
Help VT . Shop VT . Dine VT . Stay VT . Love VT . Enjoy VT .
