A HUGE Shout-Out to Mrs. Vermont 2015!

By -
Dorilee LeBlanc, AKA Mrs. Vermont 2015, is building her pageant platform around getting kids outside, active, and re-connected with nature, and we have enjoyed an amazing partnership with her this summer. From assisting with our Random Acts of Camping promotion to hiking up Owl's Head to help kids reach their Venture Vermont goals, she has brought boundless energy and fun to parks all over the state.

Stay tuned to find out how to watch her compete in the Mrs. America 2015 Pageant, which will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from September 20-24. We can't wait to see her represent Vermont!




Here's a brief look into a few of the wonderful activities she participated in throughout the summer:

Sand Bar Bonus Activity on the Beach - Sandcastles!





Owl’s Head Picnic Evening Hike and Picnic


And of course, who could forget...she announced the Elmore State Park Random Acts of Camping winners by riding in on a paddle boat!








If you're looking for her on social media, you can visit her Facebook Page Here - be sure to "Like" her page to get updates about Mrs. America broadcasts and where she'll be!
