We are "going back to the fair", to share some more photos.
[ Also see a previous post: 'Topsfield Fair', Oct.10, 2009 ]

There was a very large and imposing sand sculpture:

The sculptor and his assistant were still at work and the multitude of detailed features being carved into the "heap of sand" was impressive.

Then there were the food courts - lots of them!

The main exhibition arena is in the background, and we see in the foreground a vintage, small John Deere tractor - probably used in an orchard and for mowing the grass.

Here are some all time favorites - hot dogs, cheese burgers, Italian hot sausages:
