Reed visited Vermont's Tunbridge Fair, camera in hand, on several occasions. In 1964, Vermont Life published a major photo-essay on the fair, which the editors referred to as "Vermont's own" World's Fair. The fair had a well-earned reputation for being the place where Vermonters let their hair down. This particular photo is of a farmer swinging a large wooden hammer over his head as he attempts to win the 'Strong Man' game. A group of onlookers watch.
