BENNINGTON, Vt. — Bromley Mountain's 22nd annual "Mom's Day Off" event on February 28 raised over $11,000 for breast care services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC).

Bromley Mountain donated nearly $8,500 through the sale of discounted lift tickets. The Wild Boar Tavern at Bromley, operated by Sodexo, contributed over $2,500, representing approximately 50 percent of its food proceeds from that day. The total amount raised was $11,090.

Josh Witkin, President and General Manager of Bromley Mountain, presented the check to Thomas A. Dee, President and CEO of SVMC, at the Peru ski resort.

"We appreciate Bromley Mountain’s ongoing commitment to Mom’s Day Off," said Dee. "This program allows us to support patients and community members, well beyond the cutting-edge treatments available at our cancer center."

The funds will support breast care services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at SVMC, which is part of Dartmouth Health and serves communities in Vermont, New York, and Massachusetts, including northern Berkshire County. SVMC includes the SVHC Foundation and multiple primary and specialty care practices

Fall Trout Stocking in Select Lakes and Streams In Vermont

Staff Reports02:37PM / Sunday, October 11, 2026

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. — The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department continues its new fall trout stocking program this year.

This will mark the third consecutive year that trophy-sized brook trout and rainbow trout averaging 13-14 inches will be stocked into four ponds and one stream in southern Vermont in the fall.

"We're stocking more than 2,000 one-and-a-half-year-old trout between Knapp Ponds #1 and #2 in Cavendish, Lakes Paran and Shaftsbury in Bennington, and East Creek in Rutland," said Lael Will, a fisheries biologist with the department. "This is a great opportunity for anglers to spend time fishing for some really nice stocked trout surrounded by Vermont's amazing fall foliage. And, they can continue right through the winter, catching trout in waters where late season trout fishing was not an option before."

Fish from Bennington, Roxbury and Salisbury fish culture stations will be stocked starting in mid-October to allow for some harvest before the season switches to catch and release only in November.

"Last year anglers shared with us that they loved the fall and winter opportunity created by this late season stocking," said Will. "We're excited to continue these stockings and hopefully hear from more people taking advantage of these new trout fishing opportunities."
