WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE FAMOUS WHALES TAILS ALONGSIDE BUSY INTERSTATE 89 NORTH — IN SOUTH BURLINGTON. HERE’S WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE FOR THEIR BIG DEBUT FOR THE SEASON. ReARCH PROPERTIES, WHICH MANAGES TECHNOLOGY PARK IN SOUTH BURLINGTON, SAYS THIS IS THE 7th SEASON FOR THIS POPULAR TRADITION. WE WERE THERE LAST WEEK WHEN STEVE AND TANNER FROM ReARCH (RE- ARK) WERE DECORATING THE TAILS. THEY SAY THAT THEY WRAPPED ROUGHLY 3- THOUSAND LIGHTS AROUND THE SCULPTURE. THEY SAY THAT THE TRICKIEST PART ABOUT THE JOB, JUST LIKE AT YOUR HOME, IS KEEPING THE STRANDS STRAIGHT AND TIDY. AND OF COURSE, REPLACING STRANDS IF ONE HAPPENS TO GO OUT. STEVE TELLS US HE’S HEARD STORIES OF PEOPLE MAKING SPECIAL DETOURS ON THEIR TRIPS TO CHITTENDEN COUNTY JUST TO DO A DRIVE BY… COMING FROM SPOTS LIKE THE NORTHEAST THE TAILS WILL STAY LIT UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER NEW YEAR’S DAY.
