Made in Vermont Marketplace

From specialty foods and spirits to furniture and clothing, Vermont-made products are in a league of their own. Now in its fourth year, the Made in Vermont Marketplace brings more than 125 makers and manufacturers from around the state to one location to showcase their wares. For two days, the Champlain Valley Exposition is transformed into an emporium of Green Mountain State goods, where shoppers can browse booths and come face-to-face with the people behind the products. Customers who need a hand carrying all of their new purchases should snap up a raffle ticket or two: Each hour a drawing rewards a lucky winner with a Vermont Flannel tote bag.
