The largest annual event in Vermont is marking a major milestone. The 100th Champlain Valley Fair kicked off Friday at the Expo in Essex Junction, with rides, games, agricultural exhibits, animals, fair food and more.
Author Steve Mease just released a new book on the event's history, complete with 200 rarely-seen photos."The Images of America: Champlain Valley Fair," published by Arcadia Publishing, traces how the fair grew from humble beginnings into a popular tradition for people from the Burlington area and beyond.
"It has a little something for everyone," Mease said of the Champlain Valley Fair, explaining its cross-generational appeal."If you're into animals, and watching the 4-H kids, this is a great place to do it. You can also go over and check out the giant pumpkins, which they weighed last night. You can see the sand sculpture, enjoy the food which you can only get here once a year at the fair, or head out to the midway and take your chances on the rides and the games.
