Neal Perry
Wednesday and Thursday Mornings.  Neal Perry is a Vermont horseman who has helped many people over the years to understand their horses.  He began working with horses as a young boy on a Northeast Kingdom farm where he was raised.  Neal now operates that same farm as a training stable for all breeds and disciplines.  At the Perry Farm much of the field work is done with the Morgan horses that the Perry's raise.  When observing a training demonstration spectators can expect to see any hidden vices the horse may have to be exposed.  Then a changing of the horses mind about its relationship with people will occur.  Finally the horse will give willingly the control of its body over to the handler.

Too Tall String Band & North Country Cloggers
Thursday performing at 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM in the South Lawn Entertainment Area.
Too Tall String Band has been together since 1984 and has performed all across Vermont and northern New York. The band is known for its off-beat humor and for its interesting and exciting mix of historical, original, and contemporary folk and string band music from Ireland, America, and the British Isles.
First of all your invitation to the North Country Cloggers has peaked our interest again. We have been on a little "sabbatical" these last couple of years. We are delighted to get together again and dance at the fair. The North Country Cloggers have developed a distinctive style of clogdancing which blends Appalachian and international influences, as well as our own Adirondack flavor. The fun, foot-stomping, fiddle playing rhythms and choreography appeal to all audiences. The North Country Cloggers have been dancing for over 12 years, with a variety of different members. Cloggers dancing at the fair will be Tammy Morgan of Saranac Lake, Donna Walsh of Saranac Lake, Jenni Knapp-McGrew of Lake Placid and Ann Hough of Keene.
