Share some love, write a letter to your town

VERMONT - It’s year two of the pandemic and everyone could use a little love. That’s why Come Alive Outside is asking Vermonters to help boost the morale of their community, themselves, and their neighbors by telling the world what they love about where they live.
Come Alive Outside’s programming is hyper-local and designed to entice residents to experience the benefits of nature where they live, work, and play.
Love letters are a terrific way to let others know about their particular hometown charms. These love letters will hopefully be a delightful experience for both reader and writer. Expressing gratitude is a great way to increase joy and decrease stress.
Writers can share their gratitude and express their love for the little part of Vermont they call home, whereas readers get a chance to reflect on all the ways their town is special to others, which may positively influence how they see their own neck of the woods.
Share the love by writing a love letter to a town. Submit a love letter via email to arwen@comealiveoutside.com by Thursday, February 10, or snail mail them to Come Alive Outside, PO Box 267, Rutland, VT 05702. Mail needs to be postmarked by Monday, February 7, for consideration.
Come Alive Outside will announce three winners: an adult and a youth winner from all of Vermont and an additional winner from Rutland County, Come Alive Outside’s HQ. Winners will each get gift baskets with a variety of outdoor gifts.
Winners will be announced on Monday, February 14, and a mystery guest will read the winning love letters. All love letter submissions will be published on www.comealiveoutside.com on Monday, February 14.
