Dairy Farmer Appreciation Day

We would like to thank Jay Peak Resort, in Jay, VT for hosting the 2010 Dairy Farmer Appreciation Day on Friday 1/29/10. Despite a temperature of 5 below and high winds which impacted some lift performance, there were still several people that turned out for this wonderful event. At left, Hans, Dan and Anna Laggis from Laggis Brothers Dairy in Hardwick, VT take a break from the cold. Rob Guay, Appraiser Trainee from the Chazy office; and Ken Buzzell, Senior Vice President of the Newport office, attended the event and donated a few door prizes. This was the 22nd anniversary of this incredible event which gives busy Vermont dairy farmers a chance to play on the mountain. Each Vermont dairy farm has the opportunity to take advantage of discounted rental equipment, free lessons and up to three complimentary lift passes. An après-ski party is held following the day on the slopes and fun events are held throughout the day. If you missed it this year, mark you calendars for next January! It is a great chance to enjoy what the Vermont winter has to offer. For more information please check out the Jay Peak website.
