The 2021 Common Ground Country Fair Could Be An In Person Event
All right, my Maine friends, it looks like we could see another Maine yearly staple coming back for a live in-person event in 2021. Now, this isn t official yet, as there are still some kinks to work through, but if all goes well, the Summer of 2021 could be full of live events like the one I m about to tell you about.
According to a Facebook event made by Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), the 2021 Common Ground Country Fair will be happening this year, whether in person or virtual. The main goal is to host the event in person on September 24th, 25th, and 26th. As a way to keep everyone safe, masks will be required, and all state, federal, and CDC and guidelines will be followed.
Common Ground Fair applications available
20201 Common Ground Country Fair will be held Sept. 24, 25 and 26 in Unity.
