Vermont Governor Jim Douglas Visits Lake Seymour on July 19, 2008

Governor Jim Douglas, who was one of the special guests at the Seymour Lake Association's annual cookout held on Saturday, arrived at the event not by car as he usually does to such events, but by means of an antique boat. The event, which included an antique boat show, was held at Camp Winnape, which is located on the shores of Lake Seymour. Front left to right: Erik Lessing, and Gov. Douglas.
