I checked out the 8th Annual Bookstock in Woodstock, VT on Saturday.
Then I hopped over to the 42nd Annual Vermont Antique Dealers' Association (VADA) Antique Show at the Union Arena in Woodstock VT.
All this window shopping and photography got me mighty hungry. Luckily the West Weathersfield Fire Department was hosting a Chicken BBQ. Their chicken dinner sure crushed my growling tummy. Get your napkin out before looking any further....
