NSB Serving as Sponsor of Woodsmen’s Day at Oxford County Fair; Bank Has Sponsored Event for Over 25 Years

OXFORD—It’s a September tradition that welcomes men and women from around New England, Canada, and beyond to roll logs, throw axes, cut with chainsaws, and compete in other events. Woodsmen’s Day at Oxford County Fair honors and celebrates the forestry industry while providing a great community event for participants and observers alike.

For more than 25 years, Norway Savings Bank has been pleased to sponsor the event, including in 2026, with a recent $2,500 donation.

“It will be held on Friday, September 18, and is always a very successful event,” said Elaine Emery, a Woodsmen’s Day organizer. “The contest is open to anyone 18 years of age or older and requires pre-registration by September 1. It has been a great asset to have the interest and contributions of Norway Savings Bank in helping to continue this great event for many, many years. A grateful thanks is extended to NSB for their continuing support.”

Since the 1840’s, the Oxford County Fair has been a September staple for residents as well as visitors from across the county. The fair features all of the festival favorites like live music, food, amusement rides and, of course, demonstrations celebrating the beauty of rural life.

“It’s always a treat to look through the schedule and see how much time and effort the organizers obviously put into ensuring the next generation develops a passion and appreciation of the fair, the importance of agriculture, and our shared history,” said Dan Walsh, President and CEO of Norway Savings. “NSB is pleased to be a part of this great fair that has stood the test of time and certainly made its mark in so many ways.”

This year’s Oxford County Fair will run from Wednesday, September 16, through Saturday, September 19.
