Fair week on the Topsham fairgrounds
The Topsham Fair fills the Elm Street grounds for a week each August with livestock barns, a midway and a pulling ring. Topsham fair organizers stage restroom banks across the grounds before the first trailers arrive. Because the Topsham grounds are grass and packed dirt, heavy trucks stay on the graveled lanes through the week. Service during Topsham fair week happens overnight once the midway shuts down. Bookings for the Topsham fairgrounds go in months ahead, since every fair in the region wants the same week.
Retail and commercial building along Route 196 in Topsham
The Topsham commercial strip keeps a steady run of fit-outs, pad sites and parking lot rebuilds going from spring to freeze-up. A Topsham retail job sets its unit inside the construction fence so shoppers never walk past it. Topsham lot work gets swept and plowed, which is why we set on a corner the sweeper can swing around. Long Topsham fit-outs run on monthly terms with weekly service through the whole build. Night paving on the Topsham strip means the service call lands before the stores take deliveries.
River trails and town work in Topsham
Head of Tide Park and the Cathance River preserve give Topsham a run of trail, bridge and culvert projects each year. A Topsham trail crew takes one unit at the nearest gravel parking area rather than carried up the path. Spring runoff on the Topsham riverbank leaves the low benches wet into May. Topsham town crews rebuilding boat access and landings keep the set up on the paved apron. Summer school and field projects around Topsham add a second unit while the buildings sit empty. Those Topsham summer jobs finish on a hard deadline, so service runs twice weekly when two trades overlap.
