We got our MOFGA Common Grounds Fair newspaper, with this years map and the schedules.

We have began going over the schedule of events.

Hmmm

Our eldest son is really interested in Friday's:
[SIZE=2]Draft Power Options: Horses, Mules & Oxen;[/SIZE]
and [SIZE=2]Mowing with a Horse.[/SIZE]

Anyone else?

I am looking at the scythe stuff, growing plums, grapes, etc, the spinning and weaving stuff which will be ongoing...

We're going Saturday. I haven't decided what we'll see for demos yet.

Need to get a copy and get looking at things. I think we are going to do a couple electric fencing demos this year, along with some apple demos. We'll see what they have. Maybe we can organize a time to meet if there are several of us there!

"I think we are going to do a couple electric fencing demos this year"

Where do you get your volunteers, or should I say "victims"?

From the crowd of spectators, of course!

The only "fair" I have been to here in Maine is the Fryburg fair. It's sort of become a tradition....I just enjoy walking around. How big is this MOFGA Common Grounds Fair? I really have nothing to compare it too.

Much smaller than Fryburg. There aren't any mechanical rides or maniacal carnies. You can ride on the horse drawn wagon! When Steve took me home to meet his parents the first time he pointed out Darthia Farm, owner of that horse drawn wagon, and told me they were weird people. Back then I was going to work in business suits and high heels. Ohhhhhhh how things change. I'd never heard of Common Ground Country Fair. It's contagious. You can't go to Common Ground and not want to grow something.

That could be cool, I always wanted to meet KAF and Starwalker.
