Lewiston Maine Carnival Fair Moxie Brigade Band 1908 Real Photo Postcard

This postcard captures a bustling agricultural fair in North Conway, New Hampshire, likely in the early 20th century, identifiable by the blend of horse-drawn vehicles and early automobiles, alongside emerging infrastructure like utility poles. Such events were vital for rural communities, serving as a primary venue for commerce, entertainment, and the exhibition of livestock, as evidenced by the cattle pens and the large gathering of local residents and farmers. Banners advertising local newspapers and specific cattle breeds, such as Jersey and Ayrshire, further highlight the fair's focus on agricultural advancement and community engagement.
