can you quintessential-ize stowe?

well, that's exactly what trazzler.com wants to know.

and who is trazzler, you ask? well, it's a super cool travel website that, rather than trying to tell a story about an entire city or place, focuses on a particular moment, action, experience, observation, insight, or sensation that defines the location. and, trust me, it works. because in reading the wonderful and insightful entries, it will make you long to experience and recreate these exact same moments.

plus, the even cooler thing about trazzler is that they want to hear from you! every few month they have a writing contest that invites YOU to be the local (our tourist) expert and to write about an experience that you have had in one of their selected locations.

the three locations selected for this month's contest are louisville, kentucky and san fransisco, california and stowe, vermont! so, to all you writers/bloggers/vermonters out there, i challenge you to a contest. submit to trazzler your thoughts on what makes stowe, vt so fantastic. if nothing else, it gives us all some new ideas and places to explore (and a chance to win some really cool prizes!)

so take some time to think about those moments in life when you really stop and pay attention to the here and now. because, really, what is more quintessentially vermont than living in the moment?
