Common Ground Fair, September, 2008



These Galleries are photos of events.



Each year in September, the Common Ground Fair, sponsored by MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Growers Association) holds it's fair in Unity, Maine. This event feels like stepping back to the 60's with people interested in renewables and green living exhibiting and attending. We feel very much at home!
