along with thousands of their friends. Twice each year, in the Spring and Fall, we hold "Steiff Party" events where attendees can see and touch the latest Steiff
products. These parties are free to anyone who would like to attend and refreshments are served. There are door prizes and other surprises as well. Our Spring
party in April was a lot of fun, and the next one is scheduled for Saturday, September 12.
Visit our Calendar of Events for more information. Stay for the weekend for a special discounted room rate. |

The Hallmark Channel movie "Moonlight & Mistletoe" was filmed in Chester in the summer of 2008. The front of the Hugging Bear Inn was decorated as Santa Claus'
house and shown in the film. Main Street, especially the Fullerton Inn across the street, was prominently featured in many scenes as well. "Moonlight &
Mistletoe," which stars Tom Arnold and Candace Cameron Bure, premiered on the Hallmark Channel on November 29, 2008, and will hopefully become a regular holiday
classic. Watch the film and then come to Chester and visit locations from the movie. |

The village of Chester, Vermont, was featured in the article "O Little Towns of Vermont" in the November/December 2008 issue of "Yankee" magazine. The article
highlights things to do and see in Chester, especially around the holiday season, and the Hugging Bear Inn and Shoppe is highlighted as one of the places to shop.
In part: "Chester (population 3,044) sits at the confluence of three state routes (five major roads all together). In winter, cars stream by heading north to
Okemo Mountain. Few stop. If they did, they'd likely discover why Chester residents call their town "the Vermont you've been hoping to find." |
