A note about lunch:
There are limited options for lunch immediately in Fryeburg and Conway is just far enough away to stress the lunch timeframe. Please consider packing lunch, picking something up ahead of time, or placing an online order to speed up the process. The Fryeburg Academy cafeteria will be open if you want a place to eat a packed lunch, however there will not be food available in the cafeteria. There will be many people looking to get lunch from the same spots. Here is a map of the closest lunch spots.
We will also have Tin Can Co. Crepes & Bowls Food food truck on site for lunch! Check out their menu here:
