Tele-Talk Responses: Your best guess: What's behind the Fryeburg Fair's start date?

There were 23 responses to this week’s tele-talk question, “Your best guess: What’s behind the Fryeburg Fair’s start date?” The correct answer is: The Fryeburg Fair always includes the first Wednesday in October, which means the opening Sunday can be as early as Sept 28 and as late as Oct. 4. Dave Andrews, the fair’s superintendent, doesn’t know “exactly” why that schedule was established but thinks it was to avoid competing with other fairs in the state. Nine people had the correct response.

I was wondering the same thing. Seemed like it would have started super early this year, but then I thought I was going crazy. Nate Robinson
