Samantha at the Tunbridge World's Fair

The pumpkin at the Eastern States Expo last year might have
been bigger.  Might.

Samantha here.  We were a little occupied last fall with a number of things, so there's a bit of a backlog of our adventures.  Suffice to say, there were a number of adventures in Vermont.  One of the biggest attractions in our neck of the woods in the fall is the World's Fair at Tunbridge.

Decorative gourds and vegetables

So of course I had to go.  

It was an awesome agricultural fair, with jam and jelly competitions and crafting competitions.  The human is planning to enter some of our clothing for the doll clothes competition.  Not sure what it's going to be yet, but I hope something spectacular.  And then I can be the model at the fair for the weekend.

That is an American Girl sewing machine

The best part of the fair was the antique/historical buildings.  There was the crafting building (with a working loom, and someone teaching lace making.  Outside there were the steam engines, someone making baskets, and some Civil War reenactors.  There was also a replica schoolhouse (ours is better) with a shelf full of old textbooks.  I think we'll need those same textbooks for our schoolroom when the human finally gets around to building it.
