Union is about 20 miles up the road from me and I've been going there since I was a kid.
Used to see Joey Chitwood do car tricks there,played the year they had a rodeo back when that black guy was all the rage on broncos and stuff.
Nice old-time country fair that seems like it's been there forever.
Playing there again this Friday with "Rosey and Friends" at 11 am.
We'll be a French/Canadian fiddler,bluegrass guitar player who used to play with the Katahdin Valley Boys (7 time "Best Bluegrass Band" in Maine),Rosey (lead singer") and yours truly.
Mix of fiddletunes,old C&W and me singing 3 numbers.White Freightliner,Columbas Stockade and Don't This Road Look Rough and Rocky.
I'm not a lead singer for all-night,but I do like to chime in from time to time.
Does the fiddler play Saint Anne’s Reel, Crooked Stovepipe, Big John McNeill, or Maple Sugar?
Certainly Chuck,along with Pigeon On the Gate,Smash the Windows and Reel d'Montreal.
Great old hall/museum of Maine related displays and traditional Maine cooking,too.
How fah ta East Vasselboro, Steve?
Right on Rte. 32 to Waterville.
I'm about 1 hour from Vasselboro/China Lake which is about 1/2 hour to Union.
I've sometimes asked the question "What is Maine's Surf City?" when Surf is spelled Serf.
Maine's "Serf" City is "Vasselboro.
Vaughn Meader's widow came from Vasselboro.
Been to Maine twice when I drove semi - one time to Portland and another time to some military base I think near Augusta,, can’t quite remember.
