The poster for the 50th Common Ground County Fair in Unity this fall features a working border collie dog surrounded by flowers and a throwback font, the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association said Tuesday. Sebago artist Brenda McGuinness created the winning design in the organization’s annual poster competition, inspired by the popular sheep dog demonstrations at the fair each year. “Our 50th Common Ground Country Fair is going to be celebrating our past, and also continuing to rally our community members to build common ground,” fair director April Boucher said. The 2026 fair will be held Sept. 25, 26, and 27 at the organization’s headquarters in Unity.
