October 17, 2010 – The  2011 TD Bank Bill Koch Festival will be held at Rikert Slki Touring Center on Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf Campus in Ripton, VT on February 26-27. The Breadloaf area was the summer home of Robert Frost and is the year round home to many forest animals, both of which will comprise the theme for this year’s festival. Start thinking about your costume for this year’s opening parade! Raccoons, squirrels, mice, deer, moose, bobcat, bear, fox and even skunk are all invited!

Kids, ages 5-13, are invited to participate in the festival which includes two days of competitive skate, classic and relay races and non-competitive events such as our family mini-marathon tour out to Robert Frost’s cabin, a ski jumping demonstration and the state of Vermont’s mobile maple sugaring shack.
