Enter to Win in the 'Secrets of Stowe Sweepstakes'

Stowe's secrets can include the many singular experiences that evoke so many thoughts and emotions.

Summer is also the time of fabulous festivals (http://www.gostowe.com/thingstodo/calendar/), summer theatre (http://www.gostowe.com/thingstodo/calendar/), concerts (http://www.gostowe.com/thingstodo/calendar/) in the pastoral Trapp Family Lodge Concert Meadow, and an outdoor sculpture exhibit that surprises and brings a smile at every turn. And for a leisurely stroll, a robust inline skate or a family bike ride, the 5.5 Stowe Recreation Path (http://www.gostowe.com/thingstodo/sports/rec_path/), with its 11 pedestrian bridges crossing the river is a must-do, as is the Quiet Path spur, where dogs are not only welcome, but rule.
