Near our chalet in New Hampshire is the small town of Fryebrug (Maine). Every year this is the venure for an extrordinary and enormous agricultural fair. The fair lasts for a full 8-days and includes everything from cooking demonstrations, blacksmithing, plowing competitions, horse racing, steam engines, ox-pulls, sheep shearing, a best christmas tree competition, and, of course, lots of country music and fried food. We went on 'woodsmans day' which features various competitions for male and female lumberjack-types (cross-cut sawing, tree climbing, axe throwing, etc). It was a wonderful family atmosphere and the fair is extremely well run. We were especially impressed by the cleanliness of the rest rooms and the piped music therein!. I suspect that we will return in future years because there is so much to see and we barely scratched the surface.
