Verner Reed Photographic Collection, 1950-1972
- Temporary

Description

Reed visited Vermont's Tunbridge Fair, camera in hand, on several occasions. In 1964, Vermont Life published a major photo-essay on the fair, which the editors referred to as "Vermont's own" World's Fair. The fair had a well-earned reputation for being the place where Vermonters let their hair down. A group of five people, three men and two women, sit on the steps outside the dance hall Dreamland. An advertisement for Coca-Cola hangs above the door, on which hangs posters publicizing that evening's dance.
