This is an awesome thrift store right outside Wilmington Vermont that is owned by the community and run by volunteers so that all profits may go back in to the community to support the working poor...
We also came across the 6th annual Gilfeather Turnip Festival in a town called Wardsboro. It holds a contest for the biggest locally grown turnip of the season, a craft fair with lots of local wares, turnip tastings (cool and inventive recipes made by the town folk all using the star ingredient), turnip souvenirs (tee-shirts, cookbooks, DVD, and even a children's book) and lots of activities for the kids. All in all it was just the sort of small town charm that Laura and I had been in search of and by far the highlight of our day...
Below is the prize winner at a whopping 24 pounds and the runners up which were no small potatoes or in this case turnips themselves, I can't wait to try growing a turnip this big in my own garden next year...
