A guy from Brooklyn


I’ve tried to photograph Bernie before, and for a 70 year old he goes at a fair clip!


Here I managed to get in a couple of in-focus shots surrounded as he was by other photographers.


A long-time attendee of The Strolling Bernie gave a short speech on The Common before proceeding to Keene.

Another guy from Brooklyn


At least he can do a Brooklyn accent, and tried to sell me a bridge.


I explained several things about heifers to him, including that they were not fierce.

Brattleboro’s very own

In an interview some time ago if it was true that 50,000 people attended The Strolling. She replied that it was hard to tell, but those were police estimates.

Governor Peter Shumlin


is another long-time attendee of The Strolling.

Blasé in Brattleboro


I said to the attendant ‘no flash’ on my camera, and he replied that the birds were so used to being photographed it wouldn’t matter anyway.

A series of Photos by Marnie Innes


I think my favorite is the little girl, as if to say, what is all this about?

Says the I Ching, there are many workers.

Food


was the focus of this year’s conference, and naturally food demos were required.


Tavernier Chocolates provided one demo at The River Garden.

All around my hat


so many stories here, the cow sculpture for example is about 4 feet tall and on asking if she falls over was told ‘specially weighted feet’

The Slow Living Conference


precedes the Strolling, and some speakers talked about their own books at The Latchis Theater which, together with Marlboro College Graduate School, was also a speaking venue

Finally


Mostly group shots of people enjoying themselves in just about perfect weather

Its probably hot in there, you are thirsty and your arms hurt, but almost done now and see you next year.
