Episode 287 - The Valentine Phantom of Montpelier, Vermont - Happy Valentines Day

This week, we step away from doom, gloom and reminders of the fact that we are currently under an authoritarian administration thaat does not value human life and only serves to protect the billionaire class to talk about a magical event that happens every February in the tiny city of  Montpelier, Vermont.  It seems that, since 2002 when people in Montpelier on Valentine's day morning, they find their town covered in hearts, celebrating love, community and kindness.  More than one person has served the role of the Phantom, like the Dread Pirate Roberts, it's a title that gets passed on from time to time.  We cover the history of the tiny capital of Montpelier, the history of the Valentine Phantom and how even during a blizzard and the height of the pandemic, the Montpelier Valentine Phantom (or Bandit) was able to cover the town in hearts.  So join us for this feel good episode of the Family Plot Podcast!(PS - The 'Secret Santa' from Independence Missouri was Larry Stewart, a Lees Summit Businessman who passed away in 2007)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
