There was a lot more to the Rutland State Fair than cute cows and goats. Even the road there was an adventure. I just love riding around Vermont, everywhere you drive, you see rolling green hills. Hah, I guess that is why they call it the Green Mountain State.

Here the view as we drove to the fair.

There were lots of barns. This one was aptly named, “Pets and Poultry.”

Lots of history around this Fair. I just loved the displays of an old Maytag washing machine and the old farming tools.
