Tom Thumbs Restaurant Continues Tradition at the Annual Vermont State Fair
Just drive by the Vermont State Fairground and you will see that the 2010 State Fair is getting ready to to happen. The rides are showing up, the concessions are moving into place and one of the most established food concessions is the Tom Thumb Restaurant. Tom Thumb Restaurant has been a fixture at the Vermont State Fair for more than 50 years.
Tom Thumb Restaurant is currently owned and operated by David Murray who took it over in 2009 at practically the last minute before that year’s Fair was to open. With just a couple weeks till Fair time, he enticed Ann Stone who was away on vacation preparing to climb Mt. Rushmore to come home to help him. Enlisting the help of Paul Valente they got the restaurant in shape in time to open for the Fair.
The restaurant this year offers the same delicious menu,as well as a great roof over your head to protect you from the bright sunshine or the liquid sunshine, as the case may be. Tom Thumb has a menu of regular food that will stick to your ribs. As David says, “No fair food, just good filling meals.”
Try Tom Thumb Restaurant this year and you will come back again. Plus, this year Tom Thumb is offering their twenty percent off discount coupon, so grab one and head to the Vermont State Fairgrounds for a tasty meal that sticks to your ribs.
