If it’s October… it’s time for the Fryeburg Fair, Maine’s largest and last of the season.

.

.

It’s west of us, towards the mountains and that usually means pretty fall foliage.

.

.

Trees started turning early this year and aren’t as bright as they normally are…

.

.

But it’s still a lovely burst of autumn color.

.

.

Our favorite part of the fair is always the animals.

.

.

First up were the large horses that pull the fancy wagons.

.

.

We missed the show by 15 minutes which was a shame.

.

.

But as we entered the barn this family was getting undressed.

.

.

It must feel good to have all that removed.

.

.

It weighs a ton.

.

.

We met the family patriarch and it was clear he loves his horses.

,

.

So you know my husband had to start up a half hour conversation.

.

.

I tried to talk him into sitting here while I continued walking around the fair, but he wasn’t amused.
