Back to the Peru Fair
September 24, 2010
On Saturday Dave and I are going to the Peru Fair, which is my favorite fall event in Vermont. The fair, held on Main Street in the small town of Peru, features artists, musicians, performers and a wildly popular pig roast (the fair’s logo is actually a pig).
The fair started in 1978 as the “end of the world tag sale.” If I had to describe the Peru Fair today, I would say it’s timeless and a little off-beat – just like Vermont.

Hope you are doing well!
