ACTON -The Acton Fair starts today, Thursday, Aug. 27, and will run through Sunday, Aug. 30.
The fairgrounds are located at 550 Route 109 in Acton. The price for admission is $8 for adults, and children under age 12 can get in for free.
Celebrating its 150th anniversary, the fair will have many highlights in the coming days. The fairʼs program of scheduled events can be accessed online at www.actonfair.net, and the itinerary promises a variety of activities for all ages.
According to Donna Goodrich, the treasurer for the York County Agricultural Association, The Legends, Sanford's radio station at 1220 AM or 102.3 FM on the dial, will broadcast live from tonight's Cruiseʼn Car show while highlighting music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
The Acton Fair features traditional agricultural events, such as a woodsmenʼs day, an antique tractor pull, ox and horse pulling, sheep dog demonstrations, crafts and plenty of vendors selling food and crafts. The Lions Club will be there, as always, catering to a long line of regular customers. Sanford-Springvale Rotarians will be on hand to sell their famous chicken livers. There will be amusement rides too.
In honor of the fairʼs 150th year, special awards will be presented to winners in the pulling ring and in the craft and cooking competitions. Bigger monetary prizes, ribbons, and a year's worth of bragging rights will go home with each eventʼs lucky winners.
Goodrich said that kids are encouraged to get involved with the hands-on Farmerʼs Lilʼ Helper program, which allows children the opportunity to milk a cow, collect eggs and learn important facts about where their food comes from. 4-H competitions, a pig scramble, and a pedal-tractor pull will grant kids of all ages an opportunity to compete and to become a part of Acton Fairʼs longstanding history.
"Weʼre trying to have lots of things going on for people to watch and do at the fair," Goodrich told Sanford News Contributor Penny Mills in last week's issue of the Sanford News.
