Chess at the Common Ground Fair
10.25.15 Each fall during the third weekend in September, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) hosts the Common Ground Fair. The Fair is a celebration of rural life. In the Children's Homesteading Area under the cucumber magnolia tree, a two-board chess table was set up in part to impress on fair goers that part of rural living and homesteading is having the time to sit down and enjoy the sixty-four squares. The chess table was very popular attracting players of all ages. At some points there were folks watching and waiting for their turn to take a crack.
The chess table was very active during all three days of the 2015 Common Ground Fair.
