Description

Hi Everyone, here is a look at what we did Friday. Every year some of us from work go to the Fryeburg Fairgrounds in Fryeburg, Maine to set up the trees for the woodsman's chopping competition. Likely every year I post a photo of it too. Being Born and raised about three miles from the grounds, I have spent a few seasons there. This is one of the largest agricultural fairs in New England. This fair was first held in 1851 and has been a great attraction for the area. If you do a search for Fryeburg Fair you will find their official website and the Axe Throw target I paint every year is on the front page. Thank you for looking and also for any comments. -GB-

We have competition this way since we are a logging area as well. I love watching the "games" on TV when they have the championships. Fabulous that you help out setting this one up. It must be exciting to be there in person and be a part of it.
