The Fryeburg Fair

The Fryeburg Fair is not called the "The State Fair " but it is. Fryeburg is one of the most picturesque towns in Maine. Sitting right on the western border just below the White Mountains along the banks of the Saco River. It is about a 20 minute drive most of the year but during fair week it is much longer. To avoid the heavy traffic we take the back way through Sweden.

Click on the video and turn on the volume to enjoy the trip.



One of the big events is Woodsmen Day. With all kinds of competition. Women, men, mixed, and senior events. Several types of sawing and chopping events, as well as big equipment contests. Click on any of the pictures to make them larger

And everyone's favorite the Axe Throw.

Find the axe right at the top middle of the picture. A young woman is throwing.
The rest of the pictures are from other events and sights of the fair.












Carol and Clay hope you had great time at the Fair!
