"The last fair of the 2013 season in New Hampshire is always one of the most colorful.Each Columbus Day weekend, the Sandwich Fair pops with fall foliage color and the characters and competition which make New Hampshire so colorful.From Art Harriman crooning to Alex Ray flipping burgers for charity, to the Belmont High School marching band strutting their stuff in Sunday's Grand Parade, to the children of Sandwich on their floats waving, the Sandwich Fair is classic.It is also Escape Outside's sixth fall foliage find for the the season.Located in the northeastern corner of the Lakes Region, tucked up behind Squam Lake, between Holderness and Center Harbor and Tamworth, Sandwich seems in a world of its own, with its pretty century-old houses and picket fences pretty much saying it all.Nothing has changed much in the 40 years I have been going to this town and this fair.This is a real agricultural fair, and it has a separate midway which is a nice layout for those of us who want to focus on one thing or the other.Friday night, the only thing open is the midway and admission is from from 4 to 9 p.m.If you are up for a lot of rides, there is a $15 pass to ride all the rides you can handle.16580198The fair is Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but perhaps the best day to go is Sunday afternoon. Get there in time for the parade at 1 p.m. down the main street and enjoy that scene first.Each day, gates open at 8 a.m. and admission is $10 for adults, $3 for youths 8-12 and free for those 7 and under.For Monday, seniors pay $4.No dogs or alcohol are allowed on the fair grounds and people are asked to not leave their dogs in the car.Events include an antique tractor pull, Donkey &amp; Mule Driving Obstacle Course, a Miniature Horse Demonstration, Pig Handling Contest, Hand Milking Demonstrations, Horse Pulling, a Sheep Shearing Demonstration, Women\u2019s Skillet Toss \"Open to the World\u2019s Women,\" and much more.For more information visit www.thesandwichfair.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
