“The SNL cast was in great form on Saturday night,” Michael Schirling, secretary of Vermont’s Agency of Commerce and Community Development, said in a statement responding to the "Neo-Confederate Meeting" sketch. “We couldn’t help but notice many of the cast was dressed in flannel, so we are taking the liberty of sending more of the best flannel available from the Vermont Flannel Company for use in future skits.” He added: “We invite SNL viewers to Vermont to see all that we have to offer, including our increasingly diverse communities and wide array of tourist destinations including the African American Heritage Trail. Now is a perfect time to visit or to consider a move here. The leaves are changing and so is Vermont.”
