LAMOILLE VALLEY RAIL TRAIL CELEBRATION AND GOVERNOR'S END TO END RIDE IS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Montpelier, VT. — Due to the historic flooding Vermont is currently experiencing and the continued recovery efforts that will be required in the weeks and months ahead, the decision has been made to postpone the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Celebration, including the Governor's end to end ride of the trail, previously scheduled for Saturday, July 15.
The LVRT Celebration will be rescheduled, and we will announce a new date at the appropriate time.
"If we know one thing, it's that Vermonters are strong, resilient, caring, and ready to help their neighbors in the wake of this storm and disaster. We all look forward to brighter days ahead, when we can properly celebrate the LVRT and all this new outdoor recreation asset has to offer," said Governor Phil Scott.
