The 144th annual Fryeburg Fair begins its eight-day run Sunday. This year, as in the past, the fairgrounds will be filled with exhibits, livestock entertainment and a wide variety of activities. New this year are sheep and pony complexes that feature greater spectator areas. Also this year, the rear walk-in gate restrooms have been expanded to include baby changing stations, nursing stations, and showers. Near the new facilities is the first aid station. Performers will provide entertainment on a newly constructed stage at Waterwheel Park. Entertainment throughout the week will include Tony Boffa, the Ten Piece Band, The Vogues and the popular country music singer Juice Newton will perform. A tribute to the Beatles is on tap, as is a Nashville recording with Ricky Lynn Gregg as well as John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band on the weekend.
