| PTQG Overnight Vermont Quilt Festival Bus Trip
Friday, June 25th Sunday, June 27, 2010
Three Days, Two Nights
Pine Tree Quilters Guild is offering a chartered bus trip to the 34th Annual Vermont Quilt Festival. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Vermont Quilt Festival it is the oldest and largest quilt show in New England www.vqf.org. The quilt show takes place in the air-conditioned Champlain Valley Exposition Building. The Festival offers hundreds of quilts for you to view as well as more than 80 vendors. Enjoy exploring the exhibits, demonstrations, retail area and attending lectures galore. This event is the epitome of "eye candy" for experienced and novice quilters alike.
A visit to Vermont wouldn't be complete without experiencing The Shelburne Museum. Located in Vermont's scenic Lake Champlain Valley, Shelburne Museum is one of the nation's finest, most diverse and unconventional museums of art and Americana. More than 150,000 works are exhibited in a remarkable setting of 39 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the Museum grounds. To find out more about the Shelburne Museum, please visit their web site, www.shelburnemuseum.org.
There is space for 55 individuals. However, a minimum of 30 people are needed for this trip.
The cost of the trip will be:
30 people 50 people
Quad occupancy $372 per person $289 per person
Triple occupancy $395 per person $312 per person
Double occupancy $442 per person $359 per person
Single occupancy $584 per person $501 per person
If less than 30 people sign up, the trip will be canceled and money will be refunded. The fee includes bus fare to and from Bangor, Augusta or Portland, 2 tickets to the Vermont Quilt Festival (Friday and Saturday), 1 ticket to the Shelburne Museum (Sunday), 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners and two nights accommodations. There will be a quick supper stop about half way home unless the group decides otherwise (the cost of the trip does not include this, nor does it include lunches). I would expect everyone will be dropped off no later than 10 p.m. Sunday.
