I may take a ride up there Wednesday. Post time is 1PM and $5 bucks to get in is pretty sweet. More money to eat our way through the fair! LOL!

that 15 admission will really help on getting people to watch the races.

Only good if you’re a senior! Lol in all seriousness, paying $15/day to get in to watch races at the Fair is a bit of a stretch, not worth it.

most of the fairs are not worth the admission. they tend to be smaller every year, excepy fryeburg. someone thinks raising admission to cover cost is the way to go. they might think that, but charge less equals more attendence. more attendence they could charge the vendors more. at 14 a sausage i think they can afford to pay a bit more.

I've been to them all and Fryeburg is still my favorite. Always crowded with food prices off the chart. But it's position as the last Fair of the season and hopefully cooler temps makes it a big draw for lots of people. If you walk from the lot to the pavilion entrance you'll see tags from as far as Jersey and Pa. Lot's of local homeowners use their lawns for parking at $20 bucks a car. The harness races are packed and that rickity old grandstand looks like it might collapse any day. LOL But thankfully it holds up every year. For pure agricultural fun, the Acton Fair has lots of cool exhibits and great food. But nom harness racing. That's the only drawback. LOL!

For someone who lives here and goes to the races. Maine racing is a very sad product.
Agreed! Maine racing is like a year round county fair in the Midwest IMO!

I would like some french fries with the malt vinegar-lobster rolls and funnel cake for dessert

food is great. fried everything. racings more fun. just wish things were better for maine racing as a whole. my summers are in maine. wish it were like the old days. 9 fairs instead of only 6, with races. the downs 5 nights after the fairs. good old days of action.              in topsham news. found a self service machine to bet on, or try to. needs to be calabrated. if you want the 2 you press 1. ectra. we need to do better than what this week has been. nice to see the toteboard crash. brtualizer wins. board says 2-1. long delay and the announce official. 2.60 to win. not going to attract new fans.    hope skowvegas is a better experiance on all. betting wise im scraping out a profit on topsy.

Believe it or not some of the Maine women at the fair finally got a chance to show off their stuff.  It's a big deal for them to wear a little tiny cut offs and a halter top with no bra it's amazing what you see at the fair. The rest of the year they dress it's long sleeve shirts and jeans.

Fucking pervert!
I'm stating facts being born and raised in New York you get tired of looking at all the fake pussy,, same thing in Florida the pussy capital of the world!!! They walk around the beach half naked with their fake tits and ass not to mention the facelift,, they look like an alien or a teardrop. Florida/New York women after the age of 40 their faces look like a teardrop/alien from all the facelifts.

There's something to be said about a beautiful natural New England woman finally coming out of her cocoon and strutting her stuff once a year.
