Hillsborough Fair set for Sept. 11-13
GOFFSTOWN -
The 52nd Hillsborough Fair fair takes place
Sept. 11 to 13 at the Hillsborough County 4-H Fairgrounds in New Boston.
According to Jolee Chase, program associate for 4-H youth development, this fair has a bigger agricultural component than many other state and county fairs, but size-wise, it is one of the smaller fairs in the state.
Chase said all of the favorite 4-H shows will be offered, including beef, goats, sheep, rabbits, poultry, working steers, horses and more.
In addition to 4-H events, there will also be an apple pie-baking contest, a doughnut- baking contest and a King Arthur flour recipe contest. Any apple pie recipe will be accepted, but specific recipes for doughnuts and the King Arthur flour recipe contest are available online at www.hcafair.com. Pies should be delivered to the youth center on Sept. 10 between 2 and 9 p.m.
