DEERFIELD, NH – New Hampshire’s annual fall ritual, the Deerfield Fair is underway this weekend. Judging by the crowds that came in droves Friday – and the forecast for perfect fall weather for the weekend – this may turn out to be a banner year for the fair.
The fair will be open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a..m to 10 p.m. This will be the last two days of this year’s edition of the historic agricultural fair. For complete information on hours, tickets and parking go to the Deerfield Fair information page.
The weekend schedule is full of events like tractor pulls and sheep-shearing competitions. Entertainers, contests, and demonstrations of agricultural skills are all on display. The livestock in the barns of the fairgrounds are some of the most beautiful representatives of their breeds. The best of New Hampshire’s farm’s pigs, oxen, draft horses, cows, and sheep add to the agricultural authenticity of the fair.
The variety and volume of food vendors will leave no wanting for their favorite treat, Fried dough still reigns supreme.
