The Bangor State Fairgrounds is about 2 hours and 45 minutes north east of Lebanon. A little far for a traditional family to travel for a day trip, however, if you want to see some SENSATIONAL and VERY COMPETITIVE Ox Pulling, Tractor or Truck Pulling competitions, Bangor State Fair is your place!!!
This 10 day fair is in the heart of farm and timber country and although Bangor itself is a city, the Agriculture of the area is very evident in the events of the State Fair.
Just like the old timers used to do it!!
Wonderful trip for a weekend or an extended weekday trip.
The fair is open for 10 full Agriculture packed days!!
