AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine’s newest agricultural fair, the Maine Fiber Frolic, is winding down.
The weekend fair, which ends Sunday, provides an early start to the state’s agricultural fair season. It’s being held at the Windsor Fairgrounds.
Visitors could see fiber-producing animals such as alpacas, llamas, goats, sheep and rabbits, learn to make finished products and watch activities like alpaca shearing.
There now are about 2,200 fiber-producing farms in Maine.
ONCE AGAIN. The festival season is starting. I would have loved to have gone to this fair. BUT! I had not heard of it until it was almost over. How does one learn of these things in time to plan to go or even prepare to sell there? There is a secret society overseeing these things, I fear. It would be a big boon to the economy if upcoming festivals were COMMON KNOWLEDGE!!!!
