This is Burlington VT Moms Blog's 4th Bloom Event and along with the over 55 other sister cities joining, we are sure that this will be our most successful yet! Having this year's Bloom at the beautiful Shelburne Museum is a wonderful first step! Along with our 50+ sister cities nationwide we are planning an event that brings local businesses, vendors, doctors and professionals to the new and expecting moms of Vermont. Our community is hyper-local, and we could not agree more! We know how important it is to our readers to know their community including any and all assets that we can share for the new and expecting moms! Bloom will consist of delicious lite fare from a local caterer for new and expectant mothers in an intimate, joyous atmosphere. Bloom guests will have the opportunity to interact with local experts, gather swag geared towards new moms, win incredible giveaways, and learn about brands and products that make motherhood easier. If you have had a child (through birth or adoption) in the last year (give or take), are currently expecting, are trying to conceive, or are planning to be with child (through birth or adoption) in the near future than Bloom is the event for you! We are over the moon that this year's Bloom will be held at Shelburne Museum! The event will consist of amazing vendors who provide services or make products geared specifically to making motherhood, pregnancy and the first year of life - for both mom & baby - easier and full of joy! The evening will be filled with table vendors providing information that you can speak with one-on-one, an expert panel who will answer your questions, a raffle to benefit a local non-profit (still TBD), unbelievable swag bags and more! We are quickly signing up local companies, service providers and professionals to participate in person, with the raffle and the swag bags, and we are so excited by who we have (more to come later) we can barely contain ourselves! Vermont is an incredible state with so many local companies geared specifically for parenthood and children that we are so excited for another year celebrating this village we call Vermont! Stay tuned for more information - business joining daily!
