COUNTY — In 2013, the Western Oxford Agricultural Society (WOAS), also known as the Fryeburg Fair, voted to begin giving two awards, each year, to be selected from the high school senior students who apply and who reside in any of the WOAS towns. The WOAS is comprised of the following towns: Fryeburg, Lovell, Stow, Waterford, Stoneham, Hiram, Sweden, Porter, Bridgton, Otisfield, Cornish,
Baldwin, Standish, Harrison, Denmark and Brownfield in Maine; Freedom, Eaton, Bartlett, Chatham, Conway, and Jackson in New Hampshire. The awards are $2,000 each and are awarded to each of two graduating students who are pursuing further education in the fields of agriculture, forestry, or earth sciences.
The awards are given at the end of the senior high school year and the financial award is given upon successful completion of 2 semesters of further study.
Fryeburg Fair is pleased to announce the 2022 winners are Sadie Fowler, from Oxford Hills Comprehensive HS, and Kylie Dennison, also from Oxford Hills. Sadie will be pursuing study in the field of Animal and Veterinary Sciences through the University of Maine at Orono and Kylie will be pursuing study in the field of Pre-Vet Technology at the York County Community College. Congratulations to both Sadie and Kylie.
The awards were presented to Sadie and Kylie at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds on July 18 by Fair President David Hastings.
