The community came out in force for The Barre Heritage Festival, rescheduled to September because of the July flooding and mudslides. Photo by John Lazenby.
Barre’s annual Heritage Festival was flooded out in July, along with much of the rest of central Vermont, but it was back this past weekend with thousands strolling downtown to partake. There was a wide variety of events over four days, culminating in a grand finale Saturday that included a parade, plenty of live music, professional wrestling, lots of food and special sales.
