      The Fryeburg Fair

      The Fryeburg Fair - It was a chilly day in March of 1851 when a few local farmers and merchants got together and decided to show off their produce, cattle and wares to the community. Since those humble beginnings, Fryeburg Fair has grown to become Maine’s largest agricultural fair complete with harness racing, a farm museum second to none, the world’s largest steer and oxen show and a reputation known throughout North America.  Enjoy lunch on your own here at the fair and take in some of the great events such as Ox Pulling, Beef & Lamb Auctions, the Flower Show, Horse Pulling, and everyone’s favorite Harness Racing.

      We truely enjoyed the trip —— hotel was great our tour manager did a good job keeping everyone informed. On the return home the stop was the Baseball Hall of fame——— now it took about 1 hour 10 minutes to get thru customs ( not the tour agency fault) then a 4 1/2 hr ride to Cooperstown. So we basically had 1 hour 15 min there (really) you had to decide to do lunch or hall of fame. We choose the hall BUT it really was not enough time to enjoy all there was to see. Promoting the Hall of Fame on this trip would be very disappointing if that stop was part of making the decision to go on this trip.

      Our experience was 5 out of 5. The tour folks, Kathy, Stephanie and driver Joanne were fantastic. It was like they were part of the group as well as tour directors. They were knowledgeable and quite helpful. The Falls were quite mesmerizing. There was so much to do in a couple of days. Being able to set your own schedule one of the days gave us the freedom to pick what we personally wanted to do on our own. I wish we had more time for the baseball hall of fame. You really need a whole day in Cooperstown. But it was still a pleasurable experience. The fun started on the bus when we got to meet some nice people. Financially and the timing fit perfectly for us. It's a 'must do'.

      Fantastic show. I love the way Ricky Nelson's sons talked about lives growing up with their father and showed the videos. The venue was great.

      We drove ourselves to this one to save some money which was nice. We arrived at 11:30 as directed and it was nice to have a salad and bread waiting, but the rest of the meal took 2 hours. Show didn’t start till 1:30 - too long to wait! The meal was good, the lemon cake dessert was great. Gunner and Matthew were very enjoyable. I liked all the background information they gave us about the Ozzie and Harriet show, and their lives and the life of Ricky.
