FRYEBURG, Maine — The 169th Fryeburg Fair ended under cloudy skies Sunday, but it was a week that overall got rave reviews, fair officials said.
Weather diminished overall attendance slightly for the eight-day fair, according to fair publicist Rachel Andrews Damon, while adding that nonetheless there were many high points at "Maine's Fall Blue Ribbon Classic."
