Dear class,
Today, Tidy Teddy, Mr. Perkins, and I visited the “Vermontasaurus” in Thetford, Vermont. The Vermontasaurus is a 25-foot tall and 125-foot long folk art representation of a dinosaur on the grounds of the Post Mills Airport. It was created by Brian Boland, a retired teacher and experimental balloon pilot. Together with a crew of volunteers, they used scrap lumber from a collapsed portion of Boland’s private museum and hot-air balloon manufacturing facility to build the dinosaur. Mr. Boland and his volunteers built the Vermontasaurus in 5 days in June of 2010. Tidy Teddy looked so small next to the Vermontasaurus, but he loved it!
Love,
Ms. England
