Vermont Police Offer Visitors a Sweet Deal
Out-of-state motorists who seek help from the State Police this fall may be in for a sweet surprise. Starting on Friday, troopers will hand out up to 100 half-pint jugs of maple syrup a day to safe drivers.
“The idea is to promote tourism and Vermont itself as a safe place to visit,” special operations commander Robert Vallie said.
Troopers will not pull motorists off the road just to give them syrup, Vallie said. Instead, the jugs will go to safe drivers spotted at highway rest stops and those who call for help with car trouble.
