Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations.

Our Country's birthday found us at a fun parade in Cabot, VT. This included the surrounding towns and although floats and cars and horseback riders all threw out candy to the bystanders; the BIG highlight was the Cabot Cheese Truck!

Have to say it is very good but Vermont does Vermont like no other state! They are very proud of the items they produce and stand behind their products all the way. It's wonderful really and fun to see. An oddity for sure since I have been to every state and can't recall another one so proud of it's products. Of course Florida really pushes it's citrus fruit. It was a fun small town parade and we were all glad to be a part of it..
