Music and the Fair comes to The Shires

This is the final weekend for music under the tent on Main Street in Bennington. Two acts will finish up the season starting on  Friday August 21st with Greg Van Houten & Cindy Baxter  from 5pm to 7pm. On Saturday August 22 will be the band Blueprint from 1pm to 3pm.

Also this weekend, the Tri-State Fair in Pownal features rides, fireworks, demolition derby, and music. The fair runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is located at the old Pownal Race Track on route 7a.

Moosefest continues with over 50+ decorated moose throughout Bennington. Pick up a map at the Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Welcome Center, or at most retail shops and restaurants in downtown.

Ready to beat the heat? Lake Paran in North Bennington is a local favorite. The lake is fed by Paran Creek, a fine cold-running trout stream that keeps water temperatures pleasantly cool. Hope to see you in The Shires!
