high ho, come to the fair

last year we had such fun at the tunbridge worlds fair,
we went back again this year!
the floral hall and the veggie tables are full of the season's bounty.
local honey for sale.

the cavalcade!

the rides!

spinning demos in the sheep barn.

can't think of a better way to spend a sunny day in vermont.
appreciating the hard work of the summer months,
getting ready to do the hard work of the autumn season,
but taking a break in between to celebrate rural life.

  6. We went to the Tunbridge Fair when we lived further north. I remember that there was so much to see. My daughter was only 1, and my son wasn't born yet. Makes me realize all the time that has passed!
