Sandwich Fair

See, I always thought the opposite--that visiting dogs might both be skittish and cause the animals to be.

You are absolutely correct. The dogs do make many of the animals skittish unless they have regularly been around dogs

Mine would most likely be pushed in a carriage or carried so they wouldn't scare any animals nor would they be harmed.

It's not a big deal and I should have checked the website first. We were just looking for something to do that day and we thought the fair would be a good time. We found other things to do and it was a good day with the dog anyway.

No big deal but we probably will not go back.

The obnoxious crowd, the commercialism, etc. makes fairs less appealing. I'd rather go to the 4H Fairs.
The trip to Sandwich is worth the ride. I would head into Sandwich from Holderness. Take a quick hike up Rattlesnake. Stop at the Corner House for lunch. Head down Sandwich Notch Rd to Tamworth. Ride up to Waterville Valley. Take Tripoli Road to Rte 3, head up to Conway for dinner at Woodstock Inn. If I have time a ride down the Woodstock-Rumney stagecoach road. Usually the foliage at the time is absolutely stunning! This route is the road less traveled and you go at you own pace!

We went to Lincoln on the long weekend. The ladies wanted to stop at the crap fair in town, lots of dogs although we didn't bring our dogs. After we went to The Woodstock Inn and sat out on the deck and had lunch.
