there were also bands and food trucks. The BTV airport had created a temporary security fence so the event could be held out on the runway apron. It was amazing !!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

COngrats to Zip and Vicki and all the folks who helped make this happen. I learned later that they’d had over 8000 people attend in the two days the field days ran !<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Around 4  I headed home to pcik up diane and sho..
. We headed to Barre to see an anual fire show id’ always wanted to attend called Rock Art. We stopped at the bolton dam on the way in to show sho (soshoshosho)

I say  Rockart its annual… but eveidently this is the last one they are doing after running this for 14 years.

The setupo for the evening was great. It was on the feilds of a big farm on hill just outside of Barre.. THere was live music until the sun went down.. 

THen came the iron pour. I’ve done iron pours before  (see here<\/a> and here) buit this was differnt. They had  a blkast furnace fulkl of melted iron.. THey’d take a ladel of melted metal ourt and through it at a plywood wall. It soends weird.. but it was amazing to watch !
