It’s time for country fairs! I love going to the big ones, but some of the smaller ones are so interesting as well. Are you going to any New England fairs this season? Which ones are your favorites? Post a comment below, or join in on the conversation on our discussion forum!
Specific Fair Links:
- Deerfield NH Fair dates: Sept 25-28, 2008. This was a fun fair. We went a few years ago. I think I might like to check this one out again this season too. From Massachusetts, it’s less than an hour and half ride, and could be a great day trip!Google Map
- Rochester NH Fair dates: Sept 12-21, 2008. We have never attended this fair, but I think my husband would love it. Looking at their web site, it looks like they have monster truck shows. Could be very fun. Rochester NH is also a fairly quick drive from Massachusetts. Check their web site for discounted tickets to purchase in advance. Google Map
- Sandwich NH Fair dates: Oct 11-13, 2008 (Columbus Weekend) - This is another wonderful fair, with lots of horse shows, I also love the llamas. Google Maps
- Hopkinton NH Fair dates: Aug 28-Sep1, 2008. Sounds like a fun fair, we have never been. It’s close enough for a day trip, so we might check it out! Google Map
- Fryeburg Maine Fair dates: Sep 28-Oct 5, 2008 - Gotta go to this country fair at least once in your life. Google Map
- The Big E dates: Sep 12-28, 2008 - A long standing Massachusetts fair. Many years ago, we camped nearby and spent the day. It’s a huge fair, almost too “commercial” - Google Map
- Topsfied MA Fair dates: Oct 3-13, 2008 - This was my first country fair. My husband Mike took me so many years ago. Funny how I have never been before I met him! I love this fair. Close to home, so we like to go during the week. I love the Flowers building, and the farm animals are awesome. Google Map
- The Oxford Maine Fair dates: Sep 7-13, 2008 - haven’t attended this one yet. Google Map
- Vermont State Fair in Rutland VT. dates: Aug 29-Sept 7, 2008. I had not heard of this fair until this year. Google Map

Hi Debbie,
Don’t forget about the Hopkinton State fair (I believe its the 1st fair in New Hampshire).
We went a couple of years ago and had a blast. I thought it was just as good as the other medium size ones.
