The Vermont Summer Festival returns to its East Dorset home at the Harold Beebe Farm on July 7 for a six-week run bringing smiles to local shop keepers. The show, which has been a fixture in the area for nearly three decades, will run through Aug. 15. While it was no surprise given the pandemic restrictions in 2020, the loss of the annual horse show due to the pandemic, removed one of the areaâs biggest economic engines of the summer. Its return will fill rooms, restaurants and keep cash registers ringing through the summer.
