CONWAY — Happy October, with the foliage really beginning to burst into full splendor, especially in the notches, and fair season getting underway Sunday with the start of Maine’s Fall Blue Ribbon classic, the glorious and beloved Fryeburg Fair! Be sure to honk if you like traffic!
After a dismal week for Patriots and Red Sox fans, the fair and foliage are just what the doc ordered to lift everyone’s spirits. Set for Oct. 4-11, it’s looking like we’ve got some great early fall weather in store.
