The Burlington StoryWalk(R) marks six years at Leddy Park, a family favorite activity and a wonderful collaboration between the Fletcher Free Library and Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront. Special thanks to Middlebury Fence Company for both the original installation and putting up our new signage yesterday! We are also grateful for our sponsors for keeping the storybooks changing with the seasons: Baystate Financial, Common Deer, Burlington Telecom, Burlington Electric Department, Appletree Bay Physical Therapy, Champlain Cable, Phoenix Books Essex & Burlington, Heritage Toyota, and NBT Bank.
