AMSTRATHAM — Four days of music, food, games and rides are coming back to Stratham for the 44th annual Stratham Fair next week.
The fun starts on Thursday, July 21, and will continue until Sunday, July 24.
In the past, Stratham Fair has brought in as many as 30,000 visitors to Stratham Hill Park throughout the four days, said Vicky Avery, one of the organizers of the event. This is the time when people from all over New Hampshire, Southern Maine, and North Massachusetts come to Stratham for the first fair of the season.
People of all ages can also enjoy carnival and amusement rides, as Fiesta Shows of Seabrook will be coming back for its second year at Stratham Fair. In addition to the Ferris wheel, carousel, and children's rides, there are two new rides, called Vertigo and Thunderbolt, said Avery.
This year, Stratham will also accentuate its history and culture with a new "To Celebrate Stratham" tent. The tent will feature a continuous video highlighting the history of the town, the fair, and Stratham Hill Park.READ MORE:http://www.seacoastonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110715/NEWS/107150361/-1/NEWSMAP
