Farm families find fair experience valuable for children | Lewiston Sun Journal


FRYEBURG — What kid wouldn’t want to spend a week at the Fryeburg Fair?
Jaylee and Brayden Bean did — and they got to skip school for the whole week, too.
They came with their parents, Jenn and Lance Bean, leaving their farm in Woodstock on Oct. 1.

But it wasn’t seven days of Ferris wheel rides and candied apples. It was pretty much all work in the draft horse barn until Friday when Jaylee, 8, and Brayden, 11, got to go play.

“They’re out of school, but they worked harder this week than they would have in school,” their father said. Like many farm families, they stay at the fairgrounds for 10 days in their camper.
