One Tired Heifer: A Photo Essay
06.3.06
This morning we went to a featured summer event in Brattleboro, Vermont. It's called The Strolling of the Heifers (I'm not kidding). People bring out their cows and walk them down Main Street. Yeah.
Unfortunately, it was pouring rain. That doesn't deter me! I'm here for the heifers!
Look! Here they are! Strolling! Heifers!
Occasionally there was a disgruntled heifer or two. And a pig. And a dog. And of course, your typical parade fair. But, we were in progressive VT:
There were all sorts of groups. Boys & Girls Club, local schools, retired people. And of course, the Renaissance Fair! (More on this guy later!)
After the fair, we walked down to the commons. I touched a water buffalo! Yeah!
And cute rescue workers eating free ice cream!
And right before we left, who did I spy? The Ren Fair Guy!
Oh my God! This was the highlight of my day!
THE END.

This is FANTASTIC! We don’t even have heifer Day in East BumBoonies. I think I should recommend it to the Town Council. But it couldn’t have been today because it would have conflicted with Weigh Your Sheep Day with parades of rusted trailers and tweens in rubber boots herding rain-soaked lambs onto livestock scales.
yea, it’s just not the same as Heifer Day. Not a single renaisance guy in the crowd and no ice cream. I’m uber jealous.

I would never have imagined a ren guy would hit on my sis at a heifer parade. Go figure.

Ren Fair Guy is awesome.
Oh, and the cows are cool too.
