An Enterprising William Shatner beamed onto the Flynn Stage for a showing of the Wrath of Khan and then an hour of Q&A and stories. He tells a good story and knows how to make a buck. #VIP @williamshatnerinstagram.com/p/B7aLEcoBl7O/…

After a full morning at the Vermont Statehouse for Tourism Day, a rally against homelessness and seeing many familiar faces, a chicken pot pie lunch at the Wayside was just what I needed. #vermont #statehouseinstagram.com/p/B7WkCiIBd5Z/…

With winter only two days away, a cold, cold morning like this requires a second look at the status of the woodshed and some special seed encouragement to get the chickens to go out in the pen. #winterishereinstagram.com/p/B6QhtlDBB--/…

The nostalgia of Christmas is best found in Vermont’s antique stores. Three of my favorites are @vintageinspired bargecanalmarket and fivecornersantiques. So many variations on Santa, old-fashioned ornaments and… instagram.com/p/B6OK6-AhgJv/…

Hi! I’m Dan, resident of Montpelier for six years and Director of @MontpelierAlive- excited to be taking over this week! Had a lovely time this weekend at the @KelloggHubbard Evening at the Library. We joke that it’s one of the few occasions in #VT that people dress up for.

First time hanging out in @carinthiaparks this season! My time is spread out between all mountain and terrain parks for photo and video. Also today, I tested the @GoPro Hero 8. Boarded down a very bumpy trail and the footage is super smooth, the stabilization is phenomenal!

Whether it’s to end last week or to start this week, here’s to a chance for quiet focus. This one comes courtesy of Taconic Mountains Ramble State Park. Thanks #ThisIsVT, it’s been fun to have the handle this week. Thanks also to the great people of #VTFPR. #WeAreVT @VTStateParks

Lots of firewood being delivered lately! Did you know that when VTers heat w/fossil fuels, 78 cents of every $ spent leaves VT? But w/locally sourced wood fuels, the money stays here - retaining local wealth, creating jobs for our neighbors, & keeping forests forests. #ThisIsVT

Always a highlight of any week to be with #VTFPR staff checking out recent work: bringing back the best of the old & celebrating the new in @VTStateParks, including ADA access renos at Bomoseen State Park & quiet contemplation at Taconic Mountains Ramble State Park. #ThisIsVT.

Fall reminds us how lucky we are to live in a place where forests provide so much, including clean water. #VTFPR is thrilled to release this historic new manual on protecting water quality in forestry operations. This kind of stewardship is #VT.

An upside to Mondays in foliage season: seeing what people saw in their parts of #VT over the weekend. The best part today? Rain is an essential ingredient in the next level of vibrancy, which means even more color to come. Share what you see: #FindYourPeakVT. @vtfpr_commish
