Produced for the 1927 celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Independence of Vermont, this historical pageant was held at the Twin State Fair Grounds in White River Junction, Vermont on July 8th and 9th, 1927.
The program originally sold for 10 cents and measures 8 3/4 inches 6 1/8 inch. It has 35 pages, two of which are of the actual pageant program and the rest are advertisement for local and area businesses including: Green Mountain Teas and Coffee (see pic), Hartford Woolen Co, Warren C. Morse, The Surprise Dept. Store, Tinkham's Hardware Store tel 316, Browne's Shoe Store, White River Fruit Co, The Gibbs Market and so on.
The blue covered bound booklet is in fair condition as the staples have rusted and discolored some pages. The program has come loose but all other pages are still bound. I hope this may be of interest to an Upper Valley Historical society or perhaps a local VT or NH historical society. I hope it proves to be educational to someone.
