I made some changes to try and make the article much less POV, and have removed the tags for it. My main fear, given the tone of the article that was here, is that much of it may have been a copy violation. Since the Fair's website is down I couldn't easly check to see if much of it was cut and pasted from there. Hopefully I'll be able to check back in a while and see if that's the case. -- The Bethling (Talk) 12:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- The website seems to be back up... and indeed, most of the material does seem to be lifted and rephrased slightly from the website. This would indeed be a problem! Re-edited to add: I'm going to report in on the Copyright problems page. Ripogenus77 23:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
From the Fryeburg page:
"It is also home to the Fryeburg Fair, which each October attracts approximately 60,000 visitors."
from the Fryeburg fair page:
"The fair, held over a six-day period in early October, attracts more than 300,000 people annually."

- My guess is that there are about 60,000 visitors on the busiest day of the fair, with 300,000 attending in total, spaced out over the entire eight (not six!) days. If it was (say) 50,000 visitors for the opening and closing Sundays, 30,000 on each of the five weekdays, and 60,000 on Saturday, that would add up to 310,000. 206.208.105.129 ( talk) 15:46, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
The fair is held from October 2 to the 9 for the year of 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashley.harrison21 ( talk • contribs) 17:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
