Moonlight In Vermont

So I'm away to Vermont this night and shall not be back for a whole of three (3) days!! In the meantime I expect you all to be nice little girls and boys and tell jokes and make peace! And enjoy the random facts about Vermont....this is state # 29 on the list of states I've been to. MOVIN' ON UP!!!!

  1. Montpelier, Vermont is the only U.S. state capital without a McDonalds.
  2. In ratio of cows to people, Vermont has the greatest number of dairy cows in the country.
  3. Montpelier, Is the largest producer of maple syrup in the U.S.
  4. Until recently, the only way a Vermonter could get a drivers license with their photo on it was to drive to Montpelier.
  5. Vermont was, at various times, claimed by both New Hampshire and New York.
  6. Until 1996, Vermont was the only state without a Wal-Mart.
  7. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream company gives their ice cream waste to the local Vermont farmers who use it to feed their hogs. The hogs seem to like all of the flavors except Mint Oreo.
  8. Vermont does not sell alcohol to out of state licenses, you must have a liquor ID in order to purchase alcohol at liquor stores and grocery stores. This doesn't apply to bars, but can affect those traveling through the state.
