2017 Vinland Fair is Over


The Vinland Fair is three days of fun every year. It doesn't happen often
but you can keep track of  the fun when it does.

Sign up to receive these blog posts in your email box. When we revive the blog next July or early August you'll get all the news. Look over in the right hand column (you might have to view this
on a computer rather than a phone) and put your email address in the box.

We'll tell you dates, schedule, menu and weather forecasts. 

And here are a few leftover orange crate labels to enjoy.




See you next year.
