BURLINGTON, Vt. - It's often what people are wearing that turns heads on Church Street in Burlington. But Tuesday, it was what one man was not wearing that was getting all the attention.
From the Burlington Jazz Festival to Mardi Gras and the Festival of Fools, a walk down Church Street is rarely dull and Tuesday was no exception.
"The reactions from the people are a lot of them are kind of amazed; they can't believe this is happening," said David Stoll, food vendor.
But Stoll, a longtime street vendor, was in no mood to celebrate when he saw a man walking around in the buff.
"It's not right, I can say that," said Stoll. "He's just chilling walking up and down the street. The only complaint I had about the whole thing was when he passed here about 20 minutes ago there was probably 6, 7, 8, 9-year-old girls sitting on the rock across from me. That kind of bothered me."
But others weren't as bothered by the man's bare bottom.
"It surprises me but it doesn't bother me. It surprises me, though," said Richard Clarke, visiting from Norway.
And while it may be surprising, it is legal in Vermont to wander around in the nude as long as you're not disrobing in public or doing anything lewd.
"I just arrived today, I've never been to Vermont before. And I think, well, maybe things are a little different in Vermont," said Clarke.
It's a memory some will remember forever and others hope to quickly forget.
"It seems a little weird to me, too, but anything is possible in this town," said Stoll.
The man in the nude turned down our request for an interview.
