Killington Classic Grand Parade

Killington Classic Grand Parade

Under beautifully blue crystal clear skies, hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts enjoyed Killington this weekend for the annual Killington Classic. With over 500 official registrants, and hundreds more in the area to enjoy weekend festivities, the basin area of Killington rumbled with the deep throated sounds of Harley's, and the mellow whine of Honda Goldwings. By any measure, as a casual observer, the weekend had the look and feel of success for the Killington region.

In it's ninth year, the Killington Classic was originally brought to the area by a private event promoter. After the promoter backed away from the event, the Killington Chamber of Commerce stepped in to keep the Classic alive. This years event, which was organized, funded and promoted by the Town of Killingtons Economic Development and Tourism Commission (EDTC) moved the event forward once again to the point were it was recognized by the Vermont Department of Tourism as a "Top 10 Fall Event for 2010".

While Mary and I don't ride, we had many guests at the inn this weekend who participated in all of the Killington Classic's organized events. People staying at our inn, which represents a very small cross section of people visiting the area, came from all across the North East to enjoy Vermont this weekend on their motorcycles. With beautiful weather, the Classic was a great way to kick of the fall season in Killington.

Where ever you may be, keep it in the fairway and don't forget the sunscreen.
