Did You Know
Lake Bomoseen is a
freshwater lake in the western
part of the U.S. state of
Vermont in the towns of
Castleton and Hubbardton in
Rutland County. It is the
largest lake that lies entirely
within the state's boundaries,
with a surface area of
approximately 2,400 acres
(9.6 km2)
Did You Also Know
That the Battle of Hubbardton,
Vermont was the only
Revolutionary War battle
fought on Vermont soil. The
Battle of Bennington was
actually fought in New York
State. So why do we celebrate
the Battle of Bennington as a
state holiday?

SIP BOMOSEEN
A wine tasting and pairing experience is being held on Friday,
October 9 at the Lake House Restaurant on Lake Bomoseen 6 to
8 PM. It is a fund raiser for the Lake Bomoseen Preservation
Trust. Attendees will be greeted at the door with a glass of
champagne and some hors d'oeuvres. Then each person will be
seated at a table with 6 bites of different foods which can be
tasted with three different red and three different white wines.
Folks will experience the properties of the different wines and
how the taste changes before and after sipping each wine with the
various foods. The experience then finishes with a dessert wine
and dessert buffet. This is an educational and a fun event.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LBA

As I sat on my porch Sunday, I was watching and listening
as the geese flew by heading for warmer weather. This
reminded me that the summer has once again come and
gone. No more late night sunsets by Neshobe Island, no
more warm summer nights with campfires and s’mores.
I was also reminded that the milfoil didn’t seem as bad
this year and hopefully it will decrease again next year.
Let’s hope for another cold winter. We can be thankful
that we live on the prettiest lake in all of Vermont that
can be enjoyed by everyone. We all need to work to keep it
that way and by all working hard this lake will stay special
to all of us.
The Lake Bomoseen Association takes pride in protecting
and promoting the lake we live on every year. The LBA
would like to know what concerns you, and I, as president
would definitely like to know your ideas on making our
lake better. Please email me at
[email protected] with your comments
and suggestions. I will try to respond to you as soon as
possible.
Thank you,
Bob Franzoni
