Fair People

A week-long VPR special series during Morning Edition

Blue ribbon pies, games of skill, tractor pulls, rides and prize-winning heifers are just a few of the things people think of at fair time. Vermont's summer fairs return every year and so do the interesting stories from people who come to compete, be thrilled, win a prize or take in a little magic of the midway. In this special week-long series, VPR goes to the fair. We'll visit the tractor pull in Orleans County, the skillet toss at the Lamoille County Fair and head to the Wilmington Farmers' Days for a pie-eating contest.

Listen beginning September 1st during Morning Edition for special week-long series about the Fair People on VPR.
