New England’s largest and longest-running fair, the Fryeburg Fair, awakens this quiet rural community during the last week of September. This is the original country fair, which hosts crafts, horse racing, oxen pulls, plowing matches, and all kinds of local foods. A must-see event. The apple crisp booth is the stuff of local legend.
