Here's the rest of the story about Liz and John Randall's visit to the tractor rally in Wisconsin this summer. I put the photos into a slide show, and here's what Liz wrote:

Here are a few pictures from The 20th Annual Red Power Round-up 2009.

There were 1100 Tractors, 300 cub cadets, 200 IH Trucks, 127 Vendors selling parts and memorabilia and over 2,000 exhibitors and presenters. Over 10,000 spectators passed through the gates in a three day show. The main reason for Wisconsin Chapter 4 hosting this show was to raise money for the International Harvestor(IH) Archives.

Just a couple of notices this morning.

Over the weekend I learned of the death of Norma Yates (Cove Rd., Joe's Pond). Here is her obituary. Norma Yates
Our deepest sympathy to her family. Messages may be sent to the family at: 26 Grove Street, Essex Jct. VT 05452.

On Saturday, September 19, Burtt's Apple Orchard, just off Rt. 215 on Cabot Plains Road, Cabot, will open their orchards for a "Pick-Your-Own Apples" event. Their orchards will be open through October 31, Fridays from 2-6 p.m., and Saturdays from 10-5 p.m. They have 750 trees with 35 varieties of apples. There will be an apple shooter and tetherball for the kids.

You should also be thinking about making plans for the annual Fall Foliage Festival events starting in Walden on September 28. You'll find a complete schedule of events on our Events Page. Every day a different town hosts visitors, with great food, tours, crafts, music and history along with beautiful foliage. Cabot's famous beef stew lunch and evening turkey dinner will be on Tuesday, Sept. 29, so get your reservations in. You can get take-outs for the turkey dinner - but you need to make reservations. Other towns have special events, so check the schedule and make meal reservations early. Go to: Fall Foliage Week
