The Big 4 Fair returns at the end of the month, along with Turn and Burn Races.

The fair will run Aug. 31-Sept. 4 in Nashua with entertainment lined up every day plus various food and merchandise vendors and exhibits of animals, tractors, and home goods, according to its web page Big4fair.net.

The Big 4 Fair Board hosted its first Turn and Burn Races in July and decided to bring the event back over the Labor Day weekend. The races are similar to horse obstacle courses, except the competitors drive UTVs, ATVs and motorcycles.
