Orleans County Fair

The 144th Orleans County Fair was held this month from Wednesday the 17th through Sunday the 21st at the fairgrounds in Barton, VT. This year featured the new world record setting of the largest Cadillac parade at 298 cars, the new Farm-to-Plate restaurant called The Farmers Table, fresh cheese curds made daily at the one-of-a-kind Dairy on the Moove traveling cheese plant, and many more exciting activities.

Yankee was represented at the fair by staff and recognized for its financial support via dairy show premiums, and the Dairy on the Moove project. Loren Petzoldt, Randy Smith, Clara Hall, and Kelly Richardson all made the time to stop in.

Clara was there to assist her family, Fairmont Farm and Dairy, as well as the East Montpelier Udderly Crazy 4-H Club. Pictured is Clara with her sister Isabel.
