Good morning, Burlington.

Burlington stores are offering 40 to 80 percent off on holiday items after Christmas, drawing local shoppers and visitors to find last-minute gifts + stores plan to clear out inventory and will extend discounts in the coming days.

Burlington residents celebrated the second day of Kwanzaa on Saturday night with a festive Karamu feast that honored self-determination and recognized children’s achievements.

The holiday began on Friday, and the community looks ahead to its 60th anniversary next year.

Grab a beer today at Switchback Brewing Company where dogs are welcome at its Pints for Pugs series.

The event runs from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. — it supports Green Mountain Pug Rescue with raffles, merchandise and live music.
