Common Ground Fair pulls plug on 2020 event

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 5, 2020

The Common Ground County Fair, one of Maine’s most popular fall agricultural showcases, will not host an event this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The annual fair in Unity, held the third weekend after Labor Day, is the signature event of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) and draws tens of thousands of visitors. Organizers hope next year’s event, which coincide with MOFGA’s 50th anniversary, will be bigger than ever.
