It's time for the Union Fair and Maine Blueberry Festival; an event that's

not to be missed!  As summer winds down, this quintessential New England Fair brings us agriculture at it's best.  This year's fair runs from August 20th to August 27th.  You can find more information, including daily schudules here.

The latest tractors are a big hit.

There are exhibits to please everyone.

I highly recommend the fried dough!

Kids and adults alike try their hand at the midway games!

You'll find everything blueberry at this fair!

Grab an iced tea, climb into the grandstand and watch harness racing!
