Stratham Fair

Been going to stratham fair for about 10 years, the kids absolutely love it! Seems to have been updated a few years back, but Caveat Emptor my friends, it can get pricey. Food, drinks, game and rides are a bit overpriced, but unfortunately traveling fairs are a dying breed these days, so its really an investment in nostalgia.

Honeslty, I wasn’t expecting too much from this fair. Buy my boyfriend and I had a great time! Parking was a breeze, and they have all the carnival food you would want. We pigged out on fried dough, BBQ, french fries, and smoothies. There was a nice concert going on, performed by the PMAC jazz band, which we watched for about an hour. The animals were fun to watch, however, I would advise parents to NOT let your kids run around and chase the baby animals. That was quite upsetting. There are some cool rides and games with carnies who are very excited to have you play. This fair is not the biggest and most amazing that have gone to. However, we had a wonderful time and it was well worth our money.

Probably one of the most boring and smallest fairs in So. NH and No. MA. I was not a fan at all. It cost money to get in and we spent maybe aout 15 minutes and finished the whole fair. Waste of time and money if you ask me.

I went to the Stratham Fair this year with my sister, who moved to NH last year. We enjoyed looking at the horses, cows, and pigs with their little babies. We did not enjoy watching in horror as some dumb lady bought a poor, helpless and squealing baby pig for her «40^th birthday party». I guess I thought that the animals were all there to win ribbons and show off. Not the case, apparently. I know that is what farmers do, but I was not prepared to see that. Just shocked this suburb-​girl.
It was blazing hot the day we went, so we got some water and sat down to watch the oxen-​pull, which was exciting! We enjoyed it so much that we stayed for the horse-​pull.
They also had rides, carnival games, a dog show, helicopter ride and so much more.
