Shoot XII - "Stowe, VT"

Were you thinking Tennessee, the Volunteer State? Been to Great Smoky National Park and knew it was the most popular - also, drove past Dollywood! Well TN was on the minds of Carol, Milt, Joani, Peyton, and Michelle - I am so proud to count you among my blog followers!  


When this vehicle pulled around the corner leading into downtown Stowe, VT, my first and ONLY thought that came to mind was, "Driving Miss Daisy!" Shoot Twelve is another one of those events that I have attended many times in the past - the VAE!

The Vermont Auto Enthusiasts come together in Stowe each August. All around town you will see hundreds of antique vehicles parked at motels, restaurants, and on Main Street. And, then the two hour parade down Mountain Road!

"Driving Miss Daisy and Miss Lily"

Since there were two women in the rumble seat, I figured Miss Daisy must have brought her friend, Miss Lily, along! Perhaps, this image might lead to a sequel of the classic movie???
