The Big Heart of Essex

Essex, Vermont is one of the Foundation’s Heart & Soul Finalist towns. Orton staff recently spent a day with residents talking, listening, eating, brainstorming and touring the width and breadth of the second largest town in the state of Vermont. We had a blast. Thanks, all, for the warm weclome.

One of the many sights and sounds on offer was this video, created by Kayhl Cooper and Andrew Cimonetti, two residents of Essex—also high school sophomores—who blew us out of the water with their thoughtfulness, level of engagement and (speaking for myself) rocking tech skills.

Enjoy the Heart and Soul of Essex!
