Very nice little theater. Plenty of parking. We had a beer before the performance-cute area outside…read morewith pretty gardens. The seats were comfortable. Clean restrooms. Unfortunately, the show we went to was a bit of a snoozer. But, that wouldn't stop me from returning to see something different.

Located in what appears to be an old barn from the outside is this wonderful little theatre. There…read moreis ample parking alongside the building and in an unpaved lot across the street sufficient to handle a full house performance. This is a small (emphasis on small) theatre with a tiny patio at the front entrance to sit and sip some wine and munch on some baked and other goods that are available for sale in the foyer prior to a performance. The theatre has very comfortable seats, access for the handicapped, and even some seats that are wide enough to accommodate obese patrons. There is not a bad seat in the house. The most distant seats from the stage are still able to hear the actors when they are not amplified by microphones. The front row seats require only a minimal viewing angle upward toward the stage and thus do not strain the patron's neck. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The performance that we attended, "Sherlock Holmes And The Case Of The Jersey Lily," was extremely well staged by the theatre's staff, not to mention the actors. This is not a review of the play or the actors, but I must say, if this is the caliber of a typical presentation, then no performance here should be missed.

Very clean for a fair, we have done a lot of shows there for the Vintage Market Days and have had a…read morelot of good luck. The area that they set up is outside the track area and covers two buildings. The track is nice, other than that there is fair amount of parking but overall driving around the location (that wasn't included as part of the show) there is a lot of areas of open barns and fencing in disrepair. Its hard to judge a location like this because of the many different things they host but i would say for the vintage shows we do, they do a great job.

Was hoping to find this fair to be on par with some of the other State or County Fairs that I have…read moreattended over the years. Unfortunately, I left the fair yesterday feeling sorry for the vendors. Perhaps it's busier in the evenings, but it was strangely quiet during this particular hot summer Saturday afternoon. There are your typical rides, food vendors (fried dough, burgers, hoagies, ice cream, cotton candy....etc.) along with the various carnie rides and games. Only a few rides were actually running. There are several barns with animals and a nice showing of 4H kids. Still...the layout was somewhat disjointed and again...it was surprising how sparsely attended it was. My favorite spots were: -Maple House (syrup, maple candies freshly made onsite, ice cream...etc..and the smell is out of this world) -Horse barn (way in the back behind the other, smaller barns) -Historical barns (some cool stuff in there) -4H display/barn Not sure what the organizers need to do to increase attendance, but they should definitely look at the flow/layout....along with how many days the fair is open. The vendors let us know that it went from Tuesday through Saturday. Even though it's summer, it doesn't give a full weekend of the fair for the vendors to get the kind of traffic that they need.

Each Father's Day weekend this quaint little town in VT holds a fabulous Balloon Festival…read more Hot Air Balloons rise early at 6:00 am and 6:00 pm and hover just over the water. Swimmers from Lake Pinneo can enjoy the day at the beach and watch as they mirror off the water. Parking is available for a small fee. Admission Tickets are good for the entire weekend and Dad's get in Free on Sundays. Adults -- $10.00, Children 6-12 --$5.00 and children 5 and under are FREE!! The balloon are best to see early in the morning. So go in your sweats or PJ's with a blanket and coffee. The smell of bacon will call to you as they cook breakfast so bring some money to shop and buy food. There is a small area for little tots and young kids to play. There is also a small train ride that goes around the field. All of the little events for kids are paid by tickets at the ticket booth. The traffic in and out is slow moving so plan ahead. Route 4 is the only way in and out to this field.

Over-rated and over-priced. For the attractions that were there aside from the balloons, the…read morefestival could have been free. I don't understand how the event can cost so much money. Unfortunately, my hubby and I went this past year and no hot air balloons ever took flight during the entire weekend festival. Basically, we sat in a field for about two hours and were told to go home. What a waste. Save your money and go to Sugarbush Farm where you can visit with farm animals, take a maple sugar walk, learn how maple syrup is made, and eat delicious samples all for, wait for it, FREE. Another option: watch the balloons take off from the road. It's free and pretty much the same experience. Oh yeah, and free.
