Addison County Fair Starts Quietly on Tuesday and Ends on Saturday with Fireworks

The Addison County Fair and Field Days opens Tuesday, and it starts out tame enough...


Then by Friday. their's crashing and crunching -- it's the tradition of the Demolition Derby. But between now and then, its judging, prizes, rides and food at the 61st annual event. For instance, and hopefully there won't be much crunching...but there's arm wrestling on Friday. The Midway opens for the first time this year at noon on Tuesday...probably screams and screeches, but no worries, just kids and maybe some adults having a good time. The Field Days opening parade is Tuesday at 8 p.m. This year's theme is "Going Green". Friday is Youth Day and a ten dollar bracelet will get the youngsters all the thrills they want on the midway. Then the Champlain Valley Equipment closing fireworks display starts at dusk to end the fair.
