LYNDONVILLE, Vt. (WCAX) - The Caledonia County Fair in Lyndonville is a lot of fun, and now it will also play an important role in helping to track the weather, and potentially save lives.
The fair kicked off on Wednesday. It’s located in the village of Lyndonville, which has about 1,200 residents; that’s located in the town of Lyndon, which has about 5,500 residents. It is home to Vermont State University, Lyndon and Lyndon Institute, and it’s really proud of its five historic covered bridges. But the county fair is the big draw in August, and now it’s going to play a big role in keeping this community safer.
Tucked away from the tasty fair food and the five days of rides, a permanent fixture is going up at Lyndonville’s Caledonia County Fair, which will help fine-tune WCAX’s First Aler
