BY PATRICK LOVETT Staff Writer

fair is not just one experience. It is hundreds, maybe thousands, of experiences all com- Apiled in a single location. The Ferris wheel, demolition derby, fried dough — they all offer an op- portunity to sense something different. The Caledonia County Fair is no exception. With new events every day, rows of food vendors, and an abundance of games and rides, one trip won’t quite cover it all. Located at 1 Fairground Road, Lyndonville, the Caledonia Fair draws visitors from across the North- east Kingdom and beyond. Its purpose is simple: to provide an educational, family-friendly, and fun expe- rience to all visitors. It spans five days — from mid- week through the weekend — plenty of time to make PHOTO BY PATRICK LOVETT it there, no matter your schedule. Various games and prizes add to the fun of the Caledonia County Fair in August 2017 in Lyndonville, Vt. Fairs continues on 6

8 | Summer Fun The Record | 2018 An Uphill Battle Hike Bald Mountain For The Amazing Views

BY PATRICK LOVETT Staff Writer

here’s an old fire tower at the summit that offers a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding area — towns, Tvalleys, and lakes all tucked between green mountains. The loudest sound is the whistling breeze. Clouds don’t seem too far away. When I arrived there, I was just looking for a place to rest. I was sweaty and out of breath, spending the last 45 minutes scrambling up steep incline. At the top, though, looking out across the vista, it was all worth it. Located in Westmore, Bald Mountain is one of several hiking destinations in the area — Hedgehog, Haystack Mountain, and Mount Pisgah neighbor it to the south; Goodwin to the west. At

What you’ll need at the Haskell: • Your curiosity • About 2 hours to tour the building at a relaxed pace. • A long sleeve layer to put on just in case it’s cool; they keep the building fairly open. • A camera to capture moments in a unique place. • A willingness to ask for directions. It is easy to jump in your car when leaving and take a wrong turn into Canada (trust me). Thankfully, border patrol is understanding.

BY PATRICK LOVETT Staff Writer

t. Johnsbury’s Main Street bears a bulk of the town’s traf- fic during the day, as cars and people constantly travel Sthe roadway, to jobs and on errands. Noise accompanies the traffic, a general buzz of activity. Come Monday evening, Main Street slows down. Traffic grows scarce and the buzz gives way to a different sound— brass horns and snare drums, winds and cymbals. In a park next to the courthouse, a crowd gathers listening to the St. Johnsbury Town Band, just as they have for the last 188 years. The central location is fitting. The band is a community staple; it is a part of St. Johnsbury that connects citizens to their past and one another. It’s a timeless resource for family-friend- FILE PHOTO The St. Johnsbury Band performs in an August 2016 concert at Courthouse Park. Bands continues on 22
