Opening for American Idol Finalist - Ayla Brown
Travis James Humphrey
Friday, August 30th
7:00 p.m.
National Anthem
6:50 p.m.
Born in northern Maine, Travis achieved national recognition at a young age
with the American Boychoir School. During the his time with the American
Boychoir, he traveled to three countries, 26 states, and shared the stage with
Ladysmith Black Mambaazo, John Williams, Pete Seeger, and other world-renowned musicians.
Travis then became a Maine singing sensation, winning many major state
youth music awards. He acquired his musical foundation at this time by singing and playing guitar with his father in local bar bands.
The U.S. Air Force was quick to enlist Travis as the lead singer for the USAF
Band of LIberty, and quicker to promote him as the lead singer/songwriter
for their premier country band, Silver Wings. With Silver Wings, Travis performed at the Mo Bandy Theater, Nashville’s Riverfest, the Sylvan Theater,
CBS’ Today show, and other notable venues.
Travis’ time with the Air Force ended in September 2002, and he now devotes his energy to pursuing a career as a solo artist. He performs at public
venues, clubs, private parties, weddings, funerals....anywhere there is a need
for exceptional musical talent.
HIs debut CD, Yellow Cat Blues, was released in August 2002. Now that he
is separated from the military; Travis, his wife, and their two cats have very
happily moved back to the great state of Maine. Travis now has two additional
albums out and they are exceptional.
If you enjoy good music, you do not want to miss Travis James Humphrey.
He is a supremely talented musician and performer. Mark this date down on
your calendar - Friday August 30th at 7:00 p.m. On the Moores Family Stage
at the Springfield Fairgrounds.

PRICING FOR THE 2013 FAIR
Over the years we have tried hard to keep our admission and ride
prices as the lowest in Maine. For the past 22 years we, along with the
Houlton Fair, have been the least expensive fairs in Maine. We still include
our all day ride bracelets with the price of admission. A remarkable value
compared to the price of nearly everything else in our lives.
Although our 2013 pricing has changed somewhat, we still offer a great
deal.
• For kids under 3 years old - no charge - for all 4 days
• Seniors (62 and older) will have special pricing of $7 each on
Saturday, Sunday & Monday
• Friday is $12 per person OR $25 per car load
• Saturday is $10 per person (3-61)
• Sunday is $12 per person (3-61)
• Monday is $10 per person (3-61)
Remember - all of our pricing includes unlimited daily carnival rides
(bungee, bull riding & laser tag not included). This pricing also includes
all of our entertainment. There are no add on fees at the Springfield Fair.
Pay admission and parking and see quality entertainment each and every
day. When a round of mini golf is $8 and a move is $8 and a cup of coffee
is $1.75 and a loaf of bread is $4 and...the Springfield Fair is a deal. Outstanding and fun family entertainment.

State Of Maine Two-Crusted
Blueberry Pie Contest- Contest #2
Judging Guidelines: All pies must contain only blueberries. Pies made from
a combination of fruits will be disqualified from judging (such pies will also be
disqualified at the state level). The recipes must be cooked as submitted. Judges
will eliminate from consideration any pie which obviously is not done as the written recipe states (ex.: a pie which contains raisins, but no raisins are listed in the
written recipe).
Judging will be done in three basic categories as follows: Appearance - Overall
eye appeal, uniformity of shape and color and appearance of the crust; Taste - Crust
and filling will be judged separately. In evaluating the crust, flavor, texture and
color will be considered. In evaluating the filling, flavor and consistency will be
evaluated; and Preparation - This will be determined from the written recipe which
will accompany each entry. Ease of preparing the recipe and how clearly the recipe
ingredients and instructions are written will be evaluated.
Scoring Guidelines: Supplied score sheets will be used. The categories will be
rated as follows: Overall Appearance - 30 points; Crust (flavor, texture, color) - 30
points; Filling (flavor, consistency) - 30 points; and Ease of Preparation/Clarity
of Recipe - 10 points.
Judges shall total the points for each entry. The contest coordinator will compile
the judges’ scores on a summary sheet. The positions will be determined by the
total number of points given by all the judges. In the event two or more contestants
have identical point totals, the judges shall determine the order of finish by mutual
agreement. All decisions shall be final. Judging will take place at approximately
1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1, in the Pavilion.
Winners receive ribbons and qualifications for the state championship pie contest
held in January.

Family Stage, in front of the grandstand
at 2 p.m., Monday, Sept. 2. Each act has a
maximum four minute time limit. This is a

tapes only - voice-over singing along with
songs is not allowed.
There are two classes of acts. The first
class of the day is the children’s division,

classes and is as follows:
1st - $100

Aug. 29. Contestants may pre-register by calling 738-2096 or by explaining their
act in writing and mailing it to: Amy Banks, 2881 Lee Road, Lee, ME 04455.

Remember to Beautify Your
Junker for the Demo Derby!
When preparing your car for this year’s derby, you may want to pay
special attention to the paint job. The best paint job at the derby will win
fancy ribbons to commemorate the artwork! You have a chance to win
trophies and prize money if you are successful, mechanically, but you also
have a “second chance” to win something if your car has the most interesting, creative and fun paint job. Cars will be judged as they enter the first
heat to show them off before the mud, scratches, dings and dents take over.
Please keep all design work appropriate to a family fair.
Commercial Space Available
Ground space will be rented at a reasonable rate for the display of automobiles, farm implements, eating, retail & novelty sales or amusement
places, or for any other use that may be deemed of proper nature for this

PINATA CONTEST
We’ll be crackin’ open a few pinatas during the
fair on Sat. at 2:00, Sun. at 11:30 and Mon. at
10:30 we will have pinatas to bust open. This will
be held in the new arena near the bandstand in the
field. We will have pinatas full of “something,”
with two age groups participating. The age groups
will 3-8 years and 9-12 years.
Whichever child breaks open the pinata will
be able to take one handful of the contents — as
much as he//she can carry in one hand. Then the
remaining “stuff” will be shared equally by the other kids in that age group.
It’s possible that not every child will be able to take a turn at hitting it. The
youngest will go first. Each child gets two swings. HAVE FUN!
NEW MIDWAY SWINGS IN
FOR 2013
The Springfield Fair is thrilled to have hired a new carnival and midway provider for our 2013 fair. MILLER AMUSEMENTS, from NH, will be providing the carnival this year, including rides, games and food joints. They have
a wonderful reputation and have clean, safe and fun rides. Their equipment is
spectacular to look at and ride on. They are serious about only operating quality equipment. For years they have been working their “stuff” at the Windsor
Fair over Labor Day Weekend. This year…..Springfield!
If you would like to see photos of most of their rides, go to www.milleramusements.com. We have been trying to get them to consider coming to
Springfield since 1999. After 13 long years we have succeeded. I know that
you will be as thrilled as we are to have them with us. They are a family run
business and their people are professionals. Clean, courteous, polite and they
enjoy what they do. They will have some rides that we have never seen before
in Springfield!
After two tough years at the ole Fayuh (four days of rain in 2011 and then
a “no show” for our 2012 midway) we are ready to rock your worlds! Great
rides for the smaller fair folks and lots of big ones for the less faint of heart. In
addition to Miller Amusements, we will be bringing back the bungy jumping
and mechanical bull riding along with G-Force Laser tag in a arena 50% larger
than the one we had them in last year. Mutton Bustin’ is back and we will be
able to allow the bigger kids to try their hand at ridin’ the rough string.

All contestants use the same saw. Contestants will be given a dull chain and be allowed 30 minutes to sharpen it. Only normal filing will be allowed. Contestants will then make three cuts through a squared timber (down, up and down). Time will start when the chain touches the wood and will end after last cut is completed. There will be a penalty for cutting out.
2. WAFER CUTS
Contestants will make four cuts on a squared timber (2 up, 2 down) at-
tempting to cut the wafers as thin as possible. If contestants cut out an additional cut will be made with 3/10” penalty.
3. AXE THROWING
Contestants will throw a double bitted axe at a target 21’ away. Contestants will have one optional practice throw and three scoring blows. Bullseye - 3 points; Middle ring - 2 points; Outer ring - 1 point.
