FRYEBURG, Maine — Fryeburg Fair, established in 1851, will host its 168th annual eight-day Fair from Sept. 30-Oct. 7.
Bouncing back from this summer’s fire loss of two livestock barns, the fair will use large tents as replacement buildings. Fair President Roy Andrews said the tents will be “just like the old days.”
