| MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont Days is the weekend to celebrate the arrival of summer and enjoy a free sample of Vermont’s excellent fishing, state parks, and historic and cultural resources. Vermont State Park day areas, state-owned historic sites, and the Vermont Historical Society Museum will be open at no charge June 12-13. Saturday, June 12 is free fishing day – the one day of the year when residents and non-residents are invited to go fishing without a license. “Vermont Days is the perfect weekend to explore our state parks, lakes, ponds, streams and historic sites, which are located in some of the most scenic places in Vermont,” said Governor Jim Douglas. “We encourage visitors and Vermonters to take advantage of this free opportunity to discover or reconnect with a special place in Vermont.” Vermont Days also includes activities and special events at state parks and historic sites, including nature walks, fishing clinics, wagon rides and demonstrations. Vermont Days is a free statewide event celebrating Vermont’s natural resources, history and culture sponsored by the Departments of Forests, Parks & Recreation, Fish & Wildlife, Tourism & Marketing, the Division of Historic Preservation, and many supportive state employees and volunteers.
