Why not come? We are just like Disney land

The wind blowing in my face even though we are not going that fast. The mortars roaring as the tires climb the hill. Whoosh! The tires start to roll faster as we head down the step slope. Here we go I could almost wave my hands up in the air but I might look a little crazy. Sound like a roller coaster ride at Disney land? Well that’s not exactly what’s taking place. I’m in rural Fairfield, Vermont as an eighth grader in the local school. Don’t worry if you don’t have a clue where that is because half of Vermont doesn’t. I know it may be hard to believe but this is just another Friday after school where I get to enjoy being a Vermonter. My dad and I are going down the road named after my ancestors on our four wheeler. Before you read this you probably thought that Vermont was just a rural area that has nothing and does nothing. Yet when you actually look around you’ll see Vermont (especially Fairfield) is kind of like Disney land. By this I mean how we are always putting on a show (touring sugarhouses and talent shows), things around you are tall (the trees and farm silos), and how we all act as a family.
When you come to Vermont there’s always showing off to be done. Whether its during the spring and you have come to St. Albans to see the maple festival, come in June to see the dairy festival in Enosburg, in the fall to see the foliage or in the winter to see the snow and ride down the mountain. We have a wide variety of things to do just like Disney land.
The things around you are constantly taller than you are. The silos, trees in the forest an even the farm trucks tower above you. In Disney land it may be different animals or rides but with a farmer point of view ours are magical to. Taller things are always needed to do something anywhere you go.
Everyone at Disney is one big happy family’ that’s the way we act here. You see this at barn raisings and in all sports team. Everything is a joint effort on every ones part. Lately two barns have been raised and this is a thing that everyone gets to participate in. Whether you’re in the kitchen helping make the food for the workers or actually putting up boards you have fun. True nobody is perfect but almost everybody gets along. Something that helps is everybody’s jobs in the area are blue-collar and we are all middle class people. We understand how each other are financially, and we have all been through problems. Last year when our well had manure in it from the neighbor’s farm everyone stopped by to offer help. We take care of each other and always will, something Disney is very big on.
So when you say you would rather go to Disney rather than come to Vermont IO would ask why? We offer everything they do. You cant live at Disney here in Vermont you can live and also raise a family in a safe place. A constant vacation how can you say no. A place you would be crazy to not want to live in ten years. Some may say if I lived there I would want to change the temperature but that’s part of its magic. Without it we couldn’t sled, ski, have maple sugaring, or skip school on snow days. If I did have to change anything it would be that the trees in the fall could stay colored longer or to the maple festival date back into the sugaring season so people could see the process and have a party to (plus it probably wouldn’t rain).
Vermont has a place for everyone no matter what. From the 90 degrees in the summer to 40 below in January it can get extreme. Whether you like city, small town, or even all nature we have it. Dry land, swamp, lakes, ponds, forest, and field, you can even have one and be really close to the other. All year long we have things going on and this coming year will be the Quadricentennial so everything will get a little more attention. Plus everything gets publicity because there isn’t a high crime rate (meaning better things get the front page). I know Vermont is where I belong and where I will always stay
