Guess the Date & Time!
Join the Stowe Rotary for its annual Stukage Raffle.
If your guess is the closest to the time and date when the first truck gets stuck in the notch you will be the lucky winner of the 50/50 raffle. All proceeds go to support the Stowe Rotary Scholarship Fund. Play as many times as you like between now and within 24 hours of the first stuckage.
The History
The Vermont Agency of Transportation has an internal word for when a tractor-trailer wedges itself on the windy mountain road between Stowe and Jeffersonville: a “stuckage.”
And while they’re working on a handful of ways to prevent stuck trucks, it remains a persistent, vaguely goofy, problem. Earlier this summer, not too long after the Notch road reopened from its annual winter hibernation, two trucks got stuck in the Notch in less than two weeks.
From 2009 to 2021, an average of 8.6 trucks have gotten stuck in the Notch each year, according to data from the Vermont Agency of Transportation. That number has decreased in recent years, with only five stuckages in 2021.

Rotary’s Four Way Test to Make Decisions
First
The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.
Second
High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his/her occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
Third
The application of the "Ideal of Service" by every Rotarian to their personal, professional, and community life.
Fourth
The advancement of international understanding, good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the "Ideal of Service."
