Thanks again to Jo for having such an interesting bingo with the musical instruments. I hope many of you will enjoy this one too. I was racking my brain trying to come up with something that hadn't been done and I realized it's only a few weeks until we'll be moving to Vermont if all goes well.

Since I think I'm still the only member with any Vermont experience, I thought a Vermont-oriented bingo would be interesting for everyone else.

Here are the numbers, choose 10 winners and PM me your list!

1. Lake Champlain
2. Champy
3. ECHO
4. Smuggler's Notch
5. Ethan Allen
6. Shelburne Museum
7. Shelburne Farms
8. Green Mountain Boys
9. Abenaki people
10. Green Mountains
11. Mount Mansfield
12. Wild turkeys
13. White-nose syndrome (bats)
14. Jacques Cartier
15. Samuel de Champlain
16. Ben and Jerry's
17. Vermont Teddy Bear
18. Vermont Lake Monsters
19. Calvin Coolidge
20. The Old Constitution House
21. Orson Bean
22. George Dewey
23. Covered Bridges
24. Same-sex Unions/Take Back VT
25. Quechee Gorge
26. 1st State to Abolish Slavery
27. Trapp Family Lodge
28. Robert Frost Stone House
29. Danforth Pewter
30. Vermont State House
31. Champlain Valley Fair
32. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters/Keurig
33. University of Vermont
34. Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium
35. Maple Syrup

For the prize I'm offering a choice. Either a goodie bag from my LNS The Whistling Duck or a Vermont-inspired goodie bag. Both will have a value of around $15USD as previous bingos. Good luck everyone! I'll draw the first numbers June 7.

Sounds like fun. Just sent my pm with my picks.

If your name isn't on the list and you've PM'd me to enter, please let me know! And if you're still thinking, remember sign-ups are closed after June 7! (That's Friday).

Good luck everyone!

Oh, I have to have a go at this one -- my grandfather's family come from Vermont and had a farm there. Also riverboat captains. So I have to ask... where's South Hero??

Pm'd my list.

Good luck everyone!

I was planning to include some info about the islands in the Lake Champlain category. There are just so many unique places in VT .. and if I add South Hero, I also have to add North Hero and Grand Isle, so I tried to pick things everyone might have heard something of.

When we rented a house in VT last year it was in South Hero though, so I have a fondness for that area.

Here's the latest list! Remember sign-ups close June 7 at midnight EDT!
