It's Fair time in Maine!
« on: August 08, 2024, 09:47:04 AM »
With heat records being set all summer here in Maine, it's finally getting cooler. Just in time for the Fair season. While i've been to all the fairs locally here, it's the Freburg Fair that's really great. If any of you "Ploppers" plan on being here the first week in October, take a drive over there. Admission is $12. Foods expensive too! But as a harness racing fan, it a pretty cool "day at the races". I believe the grandstand was built in the late 1800's. And it looks it too! LOL! The track is packed for the races. It's a lot of fun. So come on up to Maine for Fair season. It's pretty cool!

You go to watch these races for the entertainment aspect, not the gambling aspect, unless you like to 'step on your own money' at the windows!!

The Maine fair circuit is nothing but horse abuse. These piece of shit horsemen race the horses 3 and sometimes 4 times per week and you fucking assholes are on here talking about what a good time it is. FUCK YOU!

I agree 100%. I never knew that occurred. I thought they go one a week from fair to fair. I am going to ask about that.

An owner of mine called me up one day about 20 years ago and said I just bought a 3 year old that was racing and winning on the Maine fair circuit. The horse was shipped to me and when I looked at its papers, it showed 12 races in the last 30 days.

I don't like that. I am going to ask the judges about that.

  • rainman2: OOPS, forgot to mention that Obama's daughter got into Harvard, but not Trump's son Barron.  Vengence/jealousy of daddy
    May 26, 2025, 09:11:49 PM
  • rainman2: Swank--Trump is already there on a vegetable.  incoherent speeches, rambling on and on.  can't make a complete sentence.  3am truth social rants and rages!  we agree to disagree.  welcome to 2025 and the world we live in
    May 26, 2025, 08:24:30 PM
  • rainman2: Swank---come on be real!  What can i tell you.  Looks like we agree to disagree on what a Trump cult is!
    May 26, 2025, 08:03:03 PM
  • SwankToliverA: C'mon be for real. Trump is not a vegetable not even close.  So your opinion is that those Americans who support America and Americans first, are in a CULT? Absurd
    May 26, 2025, 07:49:47 PM
  • rainman2: SwanktoliverA-and your answer is—-allowing myself to state both opinions and truths on who Trump is!  FYI, the “CULTSTERS” have the same right!  You conveniently forgot to mention the current “vegetable sitting in the White House right now and his ‘mental defects’!!
    May 26, 2025, 07:17:20 PM
  • SwankToliverA: Rainman, what would you call what you have if its not TDS? No one on here went on and on and onnnnnn about the vegetable we had the last 4 yrs. Is it a mental defect, or?
