Exhibition Hall

2026 EXHIBITION HALL

We are extremely proud of our displays of Fancy Work, Art, Photography, Prepared Food, Flowers, Vegetables/Fruits and Arts & Crafts.  Our exhibitors work hard to bring forth their best work and the ExHall crew endeavors to display it all to its best advantage!  So much to see.

One of the first things that you will see as you enter our hall is the 10th annual raffle quilt.  Take time out to study the individual squares, vote on your favorite, and then, (of course!) buy some tickets for a chance to take our “Maine Wild Animals” quilt home.

Be sure to visit the “Ed in the Shed” exhibit. This is an outstanding display of miniature hand-made farm equipment pieces made by Ed Barrett of Warren.  We are extremely fortunate to have the honor of housing this display.

We continue to have some fun with our Sudoku and Cribbage tournaments open to all ages and Connect-4 tournaments for the younger set.   We plan to have demonstrations which at this time have not been confirmed. This year we’re continuing our in-house Big Blue Scavenger Hunt for the youngsters.  A reading corner with a story-time for the little folks will be presented by Vose Library.  

We anticipate having the Union and Hope Historical Societies, local Granges, Vose Library, a Patriotic display and a couple of new additions in our booths this year.

FOOD!!   There are daily food contests in the Exhibition Hall with judging at 12 on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!  

Veteran’s Day on Thursday will be held inside the Exhibition Hall with Sybil at the keyboard and Holly at the podium. With a few guest speakers, it is a good hour of  recognition.

Very sincere thanks go to the following:

The Crew!  Indispensable! It’s a family thing: Duane, Mary, Betty, Becky, Billy, Sandy, Holly and Noah. They spend lots of hours making the ExHall ready for the fair. They also keep things looking good throughout the fair week.  Without them it would not be as fun to do the contests, tournaments, and just the everyday things!
