Pittston Set to Kick Off the Fair Season….Summer’s Officially Over! [GALLERY]
Once Mac Dickson started saying that fair season means the summer is ending, that's all I can think of. I remember though, not too many years ago, the Pittston Fair happened in late June, right after summer vacation started. Boy, summer must have seemed short to him back then!
I love a small-town Maine fair and Pittston is a great one. Great events to draw in locals and competitors (especially in the livestock events) from far and wide. There are rides, games and the ever-present aroma of delicious fried food. I can't resist fair food. Look at me! Do I look like I starve?
The fair runs through Sunday with plenty of events including: a whoopie pie contest (Mmmmmmmmmm), kids brownie contest, frying pan toss, pig scramble, talent contest and, of course, the coronation of the Maine Strawberry Queen.
