We had a very busy weekend. Two beautiful weddings both in pastoral settings in Lyme , NH. Whenever we set up a wedding we always wish we were there to see the bride, the groom and the wedding party- a wedding is always such a special event. This Saturday was no exception. Both these weddings looked amazing. We know they had a special day!
After the wedding set up we rushed over to the VT 50 Race held in Ascutney, Vt. ( I shouldn't tell you that we were so busy talking about the weddings we just left that we drove right past exit 9 and had to double back.....). This was their biggest race ever with over 1350 participants- and, by the time they were finished with either biking or running the 50 miles, they were indistinguishable. Every one of them was covered in mud- and so were their bikes! They needed a laundry soap sponsor there.
We were one of three busy food vendors on race day- Big Fatty's and a flatbread pizza company were there as well so one one went away hungry. Families with kids cheering on parents kept us selling cupcakes from 11-4. We made a lot of new friends:) Several bikers hung out at our table and helped us sell a few cupcakes, too. We loved it.
Mike Silverman and his crew of staff and volunteers do an amazing job. This is the second "Silverman Event" we have attended this year ( the Covered Bridge Half Marathon was our first)and we are hoping to be at his next event this winter (Howl at the Moon) so stay tuned as details emerge.....
