Posted: Updated:
ROCKINGHAM, Vt. -

       (AP) - Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is marking the anniversary of Tropical Storm Irene with a four-day tour of towns hurt by flooding from the storm.

 During his tour, which kicked off Saturday and runs through Tuesday, Shumlin is visiting many of the communities that were devastated by the storm. He is presenting town officials with "I Am Vermont Strong" license plates, which are being sold to raise money to help Vermonters hurt by the storm.

On Sunday, Shumlin is visiting the White River valley, where he'll make appearances in Granville, Hancock, Rochester, Stockbridge, Pittsfield and Bethel.

He'll be joined by Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders at a late-afternoon barbecue behind the Pittsfield Town Hall.
