New Hampshire State Fairs ~ Welcome Fall

The days may be getting shorter, but New Hampshire is not short on things to do when it begins to look a lot like fall.

Throughout the state there are fairs and festivities planned. It is a great time of year as the days are hot and the evenings cool down!

The Clear New Hampshire Favorite of Fall Fairs is the Deerfield Fair. It is a lot of fun and I try to get there every year. I like to get there early because it gets really crowded.

Below is a schedule of fairs throughout New Hampshire. I know I don't have them all, so you may want to check the New Hampshire Association of Fairs and Expositions website to find more Fairs and Festivals.

Enjoy everyone... and may your pumpkin win!
