60th Annual Wardsboro Fourth of July Street Fair and Parade
Some people look forward to building floats and others watching the parade. There are the famous home-baked pies and the strawberry shortcake. The A-Z Club many no longer make quilts and aprons but their spirit lives on in the Quilt show and the old photos at the Historical Society exhibits.

Wardsboro's 4th of July Celebration is not to be missed...
Though Wardsboro, Vt. is usually a quiet town, it quickly fills up on the morning of the fourth. People come from the far corners to join in the celebration.
The Wardsboro's Fourth of July street fair and parade is the oldest in the State.
Each year as many as 5000 visitors get up early and join the population of about 700 to celebrate the Country's Independence.
The fields have been hayed to park all the cars. The Mooover, a bus painted with cow spots, shuttles those who come late enough to need to park further away.
Booths of all kinds are open by 8:30 am. There are Craft Booths, Antiques, Fine Art, and books. The White Elephant Sale sells goods donated to the cause and helps raise further money,
This year the auction has been replace with bingo but the highlight of the day is the parade.The parade consists of floats, antique cars, fire engines, and tractors, bands and marching bands, which march through the town, up into a field at the end of the road, turn round and march back through, so you get to see the parade two times!
When you get hungry there's the Hot Dog Booth, Strawberry Shortcake, Chicken BBQ, and Wardsboro's famous home baked pies.
There are games for the kids, history exhibit, quilt exhibit, flower show and a display of paintings by local artists.
You couldn't find a better place to spend the day than at Wardsboro's 60th Annual 4th of July Street Fair.
Wardsboro 4th of July Street Fair in the News!
We are still searching for new articles for this year's parade where we will be celebrating our 60th year. Nancy Perkins has graciously agreed to chair the committee again this year and we all know that means that it will be another great day to remember.
- The Fourth of July: Wardsboro Style - Brattleboro Reformer
- Settled beyond the shadows of Mount Snow, just north of Dover, the Town of Wardsboro has one claim to fame - the Wardsboro (pronounced Waads-bá-rah) Street Fair held on the Fourth of July.
The tradition was started over 58 years ago by Pastor Douglas Pierce as a fundraising effort for the churches in Wardsboro. Now sponsored by the Wardsboro Methodist Church and the Wardsboro Yoked Parish, its success is attributed to their coordinated efforts with the Friends of the Wardsboro Library along with 50-75 volunteers ranging from year-round residents to out-of-towners.They contribute their time and effort to make the Street Fair come together with an enthusiasm not unlike a family reunion.
Not a whole lot has changed over the years, according to Alan Bills, a long time resident of Wardsboro. This year's coordinator is Nancy Perkins. She has also been involved with the Street Fair for more than 25 years, and is also a member of the Friends of Wardsboro Library. - 4th July 2001 Parade and Street Festival at Wardsboro, Windham County, Vermont, USA : 2 of 5 - July 2001 Backwoods of Southern Vermont trip, USA - USA Summer 2001 - part of Lachlan Cranswick's Personal Homepage

Wardsboro Village
Here is the largest flag on Route 100. It's made of colored roof shingles on the General Store and might be visible from the space shuttle.
Across the street is the Wardsboro Historical Society in what used to be the Catholic Church. Last year it was set up as a home from before electricity. I wonder what will be on display this year?
Site of the Wardsboro Street Fair
Wardsboro Main Street
Most of these buildings are still there. The best viewing of the parade is from the porch on the house the second from the right.
The building at the far right was the original Town Hall which burned in the early 1900's. The present Town Hall was built soon after. Look for pies, baked goods and a little shade there on the 4th.
Booths open at 8:30 am
Booths of All Kinds are open at 8:30 am
Main Street, the only street, is where it all takes place with over 60 street vendors selling Home Baked Pies, Strawberry Shortcake, Homemade Baked Goods and other delicious all-American goodies.
There are crafts, Fine Art, and Antiques.
There are games for children, a High Striker to prove your strength, and lots, lots, more.
The Pie Booth
The pies are baked right here in Wardsboro at the Town Hall and up at the Baptist Church. Each year volunteers make hundreds of pies are made by hand continuing a tradition passed down from our mothers and grandmothers.
The strawberries and rhubarb are picked locally. Some of the strawberries go to the Strawberry Shortcake booth inside the Vestry next to the church.
Though we bake ever so many pies they go very quickly so get yours as soon as you can.
There will be Cherry, Strawberry-Rhubarb, Blueberry, and Apple pies in some quantity and other varieties in very limited quantities.
Craft Booths
While you are waiting for the parade to start there are lots of craft booths to check out.
Wardsboro 4th of July is also a town reunion where people who have moved away come back to greet friends and family and reconnect with their roots.
Hotdog and Hamburger Booth
Come get your Hotdogs, Hamburgers, Cheese Burgers and French Fries!
Strawberry Shortcake
Volunteers spend hours picking and cleaning pounds and pounds of strawberries for the Strawberry Rhubarb Pies and Strawberry Shortcake. If you are in town you are invited to help pick and hull. It can be a wonderful time to get to know the wonderful people who make the fair possible.
Healthy Food Suggestion Box
Food at the Fair has traditionally been heavy on the fats, salt and sugar. We are constantly looking for recipes or suggestions for healthier foods to offer. Please add your suggestions.

Parade 10 am sharp.
The parade consists of floats, antique cars, fire engines, and tractors, bands and marching bands, which help rouse the crowds for a perfect traditional Fourth of July. It marches through the town, up into a field at the end of the road, turns round and marches back through, so you get to see both sides!
Local Veterans form the color guard.
The Boy Scouts proudly march.
The parade has never been rained out in 59 years. Some years there are llamas, race cars and clowns.
This 1963 CJ-3B, possibly the lowest-mileage flat fender Jeep still in existence, was owned more recently by Adam, and driven in the 4th of July 2000 parade in Wardsboro, Vermont. It was accompanied by some WWII-vintage jeeps (50K JPEG). Adam says, "It's one of the bigger events in Vermont, now in it's 52nd year. People come from all around the state, and the Northeast for that matter. There is a car show/parade, marching bands, floats and a street fair. Later in the day a auction is held and all the proceeds go to the local Fire Dept. All of townspeople chip in and run it. It's a feast for the senses, and a real piece of Americana."
Mount Snow's tiki-flavored float took home the blue ribbon for the most creative float at the 2008 Wardsboro Fourth of July Parade in nearby Wardsboro, VT. Thanks for the fun times, parade goers.
The Parade goes right by the site of the Wardsboro Hotel
Wardsboro Hotel was torn down and a stone marks it's spot on the corner. The barn was moved back and turned into a house.
Wardsboro Carriage House
- Wardsboro Carriage House
- WATSON'S BARN is the old carriage barn of the Wardsboro House Hotel, Wardsboro, Vermont. It sat behind the Hotel. Portions of it have been torn down and it is now a house.
The Famous Grafton Band
The Grafton Cornet Band has been playing for 142 Years and they have played in every Wardsboro Fourth of July Parade since it began in 1949.
Floats
The colorful parade filled with magnificent bands, gorgeous floats, spiffy antique cars, hilarious clowns and shiny red fire trucks slowly but steadily travel along historic South Hill Road to the resounding cheers of wildly enthusiastic spectators.

Everyone looked around their homes and donated items for the day. A cast iron sink, a four poster bed and old town reports were just a few of the items on display.
Local historians were there to answer questions. Next year we may be looking for reenactors to help the scene come alive.

- The photo committee of the Historical Society of Windham County will present a slide show, a picture sharing program, and talk about the photographic process of making prints from glass plate negatives. The photo committee, consisting of Charles Marchant from Townshend and Dan Hescock and Bob LeBlond from Wardsboro, have worked on glass plate photo processing since the early 1990s. In that time period they have processed several thousand images.
To date over 1,900 images from the Vaile glass plate collection have been printed and mounted in 16 photo albums. These albums depicting life in Vermont in the late 1800s and early 1900s will be on display for all to enjoy. Comments or additional information about the people or places viewed will be welcome.
Visitors to the evening activities are invited to bring their own glass plate negatives and post card views. In addition to the Vaile collection, Marchant, Hescock and LeBlond will show examples of other glass plate collections they have worked on in the past including views from many towns in Southern Vermont.

- "He's always there" - June 15, by Kevin O'Connor
Six months after his "Dad, teacher and mentor" died of cancer, 16-year-old home-schooler Willie Finkel shared his memories of Robert Finkel this past Father's Day.
"He taught me addition and subtraction," the Wardsboro boy recalled. "Before I could read, he had me doing fractions, percentages and basic geometry."
His father, winning a full scholarship to Columbia University at age 16, had graduated with a rare triple-major degree in English, philosophy and math.
"He loved math because it's so stable," his son says. "If you follow basic principles, you can solve almost any problem. I think he wished the rest of life would be like that."
Instead, Bob - a paramedic, cardiac rehabilitation specialist, health educator and researcher - was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2007 and died last December at age 63.
But he taught his son well. Willie, facing this past year without a lesson plan, interviewed family members and friends so he could write a biography of his dad. He also applied and won acceptance to Marlboro College, where he started this fall (like his father, at age 16).

Given the fact that there is only one street in Wardsboro, a town of 200 people, everyone also gets to see the parade twice. Once when it goes down the street and, of course, a second time, when it turns around and returns. That's Vermont.

- When Grace Cottage no longer sponsored this transportation service, the West Wardsboro Baptist Church stepped up to the plate, with the help of the Council on Aging. The church seeks donations to keep the bus service alive in these hard times.
Donations: care of the West Wardsboro Baptist Church, P.O. Box 187, West Wardsboro, VT 05360.
Bette picks up passengers at their door. (No trying to find a ride to the bus stop!) It has a wheelchair lift. Unpaid volunteer Bette Parsons is its driver . The Bette Boop bus is geared toward West River valley seniors but anyone can ride! - Betty Boop Bus gets $1,500 grant - Brattleboro Reformer
- The Betty Boop Bus, a service that provides transportation for twice-monthly shopping trips to Brattleboro for residents from the West River Valley, recently received a $1,500 grant from the Stratton Foundation.
The Betty Boop Bus goes into Brattleboro on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. A $10 donation is requested, but Parsons said no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Parsons said she is looking for more riders from the West River Valley, and she will also swing through Dummerston Center to pick up riders there. The bus has room for 24 people, or 16 people and four people in wheelchairs.
For more information about the bus, or to make an appointment for a ride, call 802-874-4634. Parsons said the bus is also available for small group trips for schools, church groups and the like.
