On Saturday, June 7, we traveled down to Brattleboro, Vt, to see the 7th annual "Strolling of the Heifers," a Vermont version (in much slower motion) of the Running of the Bulls. According to the local paper, over 45,000 people watched the parade. It was great fun and certainly mirrored both the agricultural and cultural traditions of that part of the state. It was especially interesting to see the number of people who used the opportunity to complain about the continued existents of the VT Yankee nuclear plant just south of Brattleboro. Below is a quick movie taken with Janet's little digital camera. You can also view a slideshow at share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AaN2blo0aNmS7.Sunday, June 08, 2008
