While festivals and events across the state will be celebrating American history next week, Vermont Woods Studios will be honoring a vibrant past of Vermont woodworking this 4th of July with a storewide 20% off sale.
Being new to the Vermont area, I’ve been consistently researching the events and traditions that are celebrated here in the Green Mountain State. So with 4th of July around the corner, I began looking into the best places to see fireworks, enjoy music and entertainment and learn about Vermont’s past. What I learned is that Vermont has a very rich history that Vermonters waste no time in celebrating come Independence Day!
Plymouth, Vermont is the birthplace of Calvin Coolidge, the country’s 30th President and only President to be born on Independence Day. Every year in Plymouth, a special event, The President Calvin Coolidge Birthday Celebration, is held to celebrate his life and legacy. This celebration includes a march from the village green to the cemetery where a wreath from the White House is laid at the President’s gravesite, a chicken barbecue at the Wilder House Restaurant and a live Vermont Public Radio interview with nationally known commentator and author Amity Shlaes, about her latest book, Coolidge.
Another event that has been highly recommended by Peggy is the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Concert - Summer Festival Tour. At multiple locations across Vermont, guests can pack a picnic, enjoy an evening with friends and family listening to the beautiful arrangements of the VSO and then watch a spectacular fireworks show to top off the night. Visit their website to learn more about the events and find a location near you.
Here at Vermont Woods Studios, we’re celebrating the only way we know how: honoring our fantastic craftsman with a storewide furniture sale! Woodworking has been an integral part of Vermont’s economy and lifestyle for over 200 years. The origins of Vermont woodworking can be traced back to the late 1700’s when cabinet-makers would set up shops in town centers and use local hardwoods to create unique furniture pieces to sell to the public. These furniture-makers took pride in every piece they made from start to finish and today, Vermont Woods Studios is proud to say that the same passion still lies in Vermont woodworkers.
This 4th of July, this tradition can be celebrated from July 1st through July 7th with a special storewide sale that only happens twice a year. We are offering all of our handmade, fine furniture at 20% off, the lowest prices we can possibly offer. So give us a call, visit our Web site or stop by next week and celebrate Vermont history with us. We look forward to hearing from you. Happy 4th of July!
