Good morning, Burlington.

Vintage Inspired Marketplace opened a new store at 10 Dorset Street where over 50 vendors sell vintage items like clothes and knick-knacks.

Owner Rebecca Wallace—who took over the market two years ago—welcomed shoppers during the July 4 holiday weekend and said the venue is now busier than when it was on Flynn Avenue.

CCTV Center for Media & Democracy will host a 24-hour telethon from July 25 at 6 p.m. to July 26 at 6 p.m.—the fundraiser will help save the CCTV Archives of more than 40,000 local programs with live auctions, music performances and community talk shows.

Community members may also join the live studio audience at 294 North Winooski Avenue as the event airs on YouTube, Comcast and Burlington Telecom channels.

Over the weekend, the Champlain Valley Expo hosted New England’s Odd and Unusual Show in Essex Junction, featuring handcrafted jewelry, horror-inspired art, and live entertainment that captivated visitors + artist Sam Johnson of SJ’s Customs explained how anyone can create art with simple materials.

Vermont farmers reported that crop insurance falls short as about 70% of farms remain uninsured because of high premiums and burdensome paperwork.

Farmers such as Justin Rich lost large sums during past floods and received very small payouts—prompting state agencies and lawmakers to consider new support measures.

NBC5 interviewed new UVM President Marlene Tromp on July 13 as she explained her plans to boost research, enhance student success, and strengthen state partnerships at the university.

She said her efforts will help faculty and support UVM’s land grant mission.

An eight-mile upgrade connecting Burlington's Union Station to Essex Junction will let freight trains run faster and carry heavier loads at 286,000 pounds—this federally funded project is set to improve the rail line for both freight and eventual passenger services such as a quicker Ethan Allen Express. A study is also examining whether extending the Valley Flyer to Brattleboro is feasible as part of broader plans to enhance Vermont’s rail network.

The Howard Center will cut programs and staff to meet budget deficits from rising healthcare costs—these changes include reducing 13 supportive housing beds, closing Westview House day programming, consolidating substance use disorder services to one county, and eliminating 57 positions while offering reassignments. The cuts will take effect in September and continue through the end of the year.

Runners from across the region gathered in Waitsfield for Vermont’s 14th annual Mad Marathon that covered distances from 5K to 26.2 miles.
