Americade is coming to Bennington. Well, at least for a small part of it. 

As many of you may have recently read, the Bennington Area Chamber of Commerce is in exploratory mode. Much like the intro to Star Trek, we too are “boldly going.” 

This past week the Chamber helped out The Gamer’s Grotto with their World’s First Operations tournament.

Consulting firm McKinsey & Company predicts that by 2020, there will be a shortage of 1.5 million college grads, which means employers will continue to place a high premium on better-educated workers. 

Last weekend Bennington was Race Number 5 at Willow Park for the East Coast Snocross circuit. Although we saw highs of 60 degrees on those two days, the team at Snocross did not fail to deliver. 

This upcoming weekend, weather permitting, we have the great privilege to host race number 5 for the East Coast Snocross organization.

Last year, Yankee Magazine did a great article on the uniqueness of Bennington. This is how they described Bennington, “a jumble of artsy shops and cafés that have a jittery beat-poet buzz, spiced up with some highly regarded museums.”

“What separates us from others?” It’s something that I have long wondered for Bennington.
