The Fryeburg Fair is in full swing although it's raining today, which will dampen the spirits of the seniors, but that's nature.
I hadn't checked on the barns that burned lately, but thanks to Jean Andrews I had a look. She put me in her car and drove me out to the site that the last time I looked it was pretty empty — just few signs of the fire.
