Union Fair (Windsor: home, buying, moving)

[lovemaine]

We had a great time at the Union Fair today! The weather was perfect, and the fair itself was great. Not too big, not too small. Plus we tried Moxy for the first time. (Good heavens, EWWWWW... Our older daughter gagged, our younger one "sorta liked it, if the taste of cough medicine doesn't bother you".) There is a small Moxy exhibit set up, which was fun. It was so nice to go to a real county fair again. We haven't been to one since moving away from WI. Good times!

Welcome to the Union Fair

lol, on the moxie, my grandmother liked it, but i couldnt acquire a taste for it



as kids it was a thrill to attend the windsor fair! the rides and smell of fried dough in the air.

i do have a fond memory with the union fair, as a teenager, i went with a girl and they had a big hot air balloon, that they'd take you for a short ride.
it was awesome!!

I like Moxie, not as sweet as the other sodas. Secondly, it's the only thing I can put in the fridge the kids and their friends won't drink.

That's funny! I bought it for the same reason! I used to put it in the cooler on the boat. By the end of the day it was the only soda left. It could be 100 degrees out and the kids would sooner drink sea water than the Moxie.
Never been to the Union Fair. We make it up to Windsor on odd years.

We went out to Union last month, nice area, and as for Moxie I did not love it but it was not bad, I could learn to love it.

No hot air balloons this time, but the Flying Wallendas performed an acrobatics show. It was pretty good. The kids got wristbands for $18 for unlimited rides. Even though it wasn't a huge fair, it did keep us busy for an afternoon. Plus the fried dough: Yum!

We went to Union in late July for the Open Farm Days event. We visited "Sweetgrass" Winery. Who knew there would be one way out in the country. This winery doesn't use grapes but other Maine fruits. We brought home a bottle of blueberry wine. A Treat.

You have to acquire a taste for Moxie. It is unique! Drink it half a dozen times, and you will be hooked! IMO, it was a better drink 20 years ago, before they took some of the zing out of it. Its getting hard to find in the chain markets because the big soda bottlers are trying to close the little bottlers out, by buying rights to all the shelf space. I so hate big companies tactics.
