Vermont State Fair Television Ad



Special Thanks to Video Unlimited for doing another exceptional job with our television ad for the 2012 Vermont State Fair

Forestry- Vermont State Fair


FORESTRY
Superintendent — Jim Philbrook
From toothpaste to timber — we use over 2000 products made from wood every day. Visit us at the Forestry Building to learn where many of these products come from, how they are manufactured and gain a clearer understanding of our connection to the forest. Forests are all around us from the small forests in our back yards and urban areas to larger forests in rural areas throughout the state. There are many ways we depend upon and benefit from these forests. They provide clean air and water, beautiful scenery, and places to relax and recreate. They also support the wood products and tourism industries. There will be new exhibits that illustrate how we use this valuable resource wisely and sustainably. Each year we have a featured tree species. This year our focus is the importance of Black Cherry for its valued lumber and wildlife uses.
As always, the building is staffed with friendly, knowledgeable volunteers who can answer your questions about the exhibits and about Vermont forests. Your interest and suggestions are important to us. See you at the Fair. 










Farm Museums

FARM MUSEUM
Superintendent — Morris Tucker

Each year interest in our Farm Museum of antique tools, household items and farm machinery has increased. We feel that this museum is definitely a permanent part of the Fair, therefore, we have created a special department for it.Daily demonstrations have been planned throughout the week for the pleasure of the visitors and the renewal of memories of the “by gone” days relating to life on the early farms of Vermont.Some of the demonstrations will be — Spinning Wheels, Operating Loom

Scotty McCreery

SCOTTY MCCREERY
Will be at the Vermont State Fair on Saturday, September 8th.
 In May of 2011, he won Season Ten of American Idol. His album’s debut single, “I Love You This Big,” became a Top 15 hit and enjoyed the highest-charting debut for a new artist since at least 1984, while the video for the song hit No. 1 in just a week after its release.
He continued that winning streak on the stage of American Idol, where he became the youngest male winner and the only country male winner in the show’s history.
On April 1, 2012 Scotty won his first ACM Award for New Artist of the Year.

Keep watch for further details regarding this concert, and when tickets will be available for sale.
