   With local farms being a major theme of the fairs in the area; the Vermont horse races, tractor pulls, animal showings, and lumberjack contests are always a big hit. Farmers tout their massive equipment to pull large weights across sandbars with tires spinning and smoke billowing.Large disobedient steers pull their young owners around, and sheep beeing sheard, there is fun to be had at every corner. Old fashioned wool spinning demonstrations and 500lb pumpkins are also unusual sights to be seen. Looking at the young pigs huddled around there mother, and the wide varietys of ducks to chickens, you get a taste of the farm everywhere you go in a Vermont fair.

  From the ferris wheel to the mini rollor coaster, the Midway has the feel of a small amusement park in a local town. Only one time a year does the fair come to a county so people travel from all over to try the next new ride. Everything from the dunk tank to the three bottle stack is something that gives you a chance to win a prize. From small teddy bears to even larger than life animals all can be won if you have enough luck or cash to gain the skill. Trying to pop a balloon with a dart or shoot out the center of a target are all classics in which all age ranges enjoy.
