Community Fair coming up Aug. 21
Plans are shaping up for the New Gloucester Community Fair with the tagline: “Connecting People to Community.” This summertime favorite is set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 21 at the New Gloucester Fairgrounds, 106 Bald Hill Road.
Highlights include the live music of The Salty Dogs Band, playing tunes from the ’50s on up, from 9:30 a.m. through the afternoon.
Kids’ area and attractions will consist of a magician, balloon tying, games, stand-up paddleboard demos, antler-throwing contest and more. Local vendors will be on hand to sell their crafts, and local organizations will be available to furnish information about their activities. Food trucks and civic groups will provide a variety of options for refreshments. Yummy from Down East Dickering and the ladies from Tirdy Works will be hobnobbing with fairgoers.
Admission and parking are free. The fair committee is no longer accepting vendors as the openings have been filled. The committee is in need of volunteers to help out for two-hour shifts.
For more information about the fair, contact Sarah Rodriquez, Parks and Recreation director, at 926-4126 ext. 231 or recdirector@newgloucester.com.
