The best thing about Vermont is the people, and there are certainly a few things that come along with growing up in the Green Mountain State. Along with growing up with a proud sense of community, surroundings that are picture perfect and adventure around every turn, there are also a few side effects that we all experience, and these side effects just add more charm to the already excellent people who live here. Let’s take a look at a few, shall we?

1. No matter where you go, you'll always call ice cream a creemee.

2. You'll always detest mud season.

3. You'll always prefer to shop at your local general store.

Traffic? What the heck?! A sense of panic, wonder and frustration may set in.
