A full weekend of events are "on tap" at Killington for the first fall foliage weekend in October.

The Pico Ski Club will hold their annual Ski and Snowboard swap at the Pico Base Lodge in Killington. New and used ski and snowboarding equipment for kids and adults will be available for sale at this annual event that benefits the Pico Ski Club. The sale starts Friday evening from 5 to 9 PM. It resumes on Saturday from 9 AM to 5PM. It finishes on Sunday morning with swap hours between 9 AM and Noon.

The 16th Annual Killington Brewfest is set for sampling 75 craft beers. The beers come from 20 breweries from around the North East. Taps will be open at the Beerfest at the Snowshed Base Lodge of the Killington Resort starting at 1:00 PM on Saturday afternoon.

Rounding out the weekend, on Sunday the "Concert for the Killington Area" is scheduled to take place between Noon and 11:30 PM in the parking lots of the Lookout Tavern and Outback Pizza. Local bands from the Killington area will perform. A $20 donation gets you entry to the event, a buffet, and the good feeling that you are helping local Vermonters recover from Hurricane Irene. All proceeds from the event go to "We are K-Town/Irene's Islands" and the "Pittsfield Hurricane Relief Fund" for distribution to people needing assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.

It should be a nice weekend in Killington to enjoy the events while taking in some nice fall colors. We at the Birch Ridge Inn look forward to greeting you when you visit.
