WCAX • • general
Key Points:
- Vermont will not participate in the national Freedom 250 celebrations, including the Great American State Fair, due to time constraints and high costs, according to a spokesperson for Gov. Phil Scott.
- Several other states, including Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, and North Carolina, have also declined to participate, citing similar financial concerns.
- The Freedom 250 event, organized by a Trump-aligned nonprofit, aims to highlight each state's story and will still feature representation from all 50 states and territories.
- The event is scheduled to begin on June 25 and will run for approximately two weeks on the National Mall.
