Buckle-Up In Vermont? Huh?
Buckle-up in Vermont? We saw this funny sign is on the way to the lake. It’s on Route 293 north, just before it joins with Route 93. (Approximately at mile 10, at about the Manchester/Hookset line.) Are we missing something? Last time I looked this was New Hampshire. Maybe the billboard company grabbed the wrong work order? |

Thats your federal tax dollars at work
Vermont does not allow billboards, so when Vermont got a grant to aid thier poor seat belt usage, rather than turn it back they spent it. Could not find a billboard close to border so oh well just put not, one but two up.

Cute thread, RG.
Seems we are close enough to Vermont for them to advertize here!... A cool State as well, being in the northeast....
As a kid, back in the late fifty's I can remember the Great dances at the Northfield VT. High School on friday nights, and also at the Armory every Satuday night... Friends and I won many dance contests there! It was a lot of fun. Thanks RG.!

Use Of Our Tax Dollars
Thanks for the link to the story Island Al.
I thought the sign was hilarious, that is until I found out that we paid for the darn thing! Other options should have been investigated. Will Ms. Johnson lose her job over this? NH putting a liquor store in Vermont sounds like an interesting idea. |

How many drivers from outside the area will mistakenly follow the road on the Vermont billboard into the New Hampshire woods?
I believe this is some sort of Vermont inspired trick! |
