CHAD GAINEY

Chad Gainey first started his career in chainsaw sculpture in the spring of 2011. His first carvings were various tikis carved out of scrap logs. As he says, "Tikis are supposed to look rough cut and, usually, the uglier, the better." After a few weeks of selling tikis he started getting requests for saltwater fish and birds. This began a journey of discovering a hidden natural talent and a new career path.

OFF Axis Stunt Show

The high energy performance includes a variety of exciting acts combined into one 20-30 min show. The show features Off Axis' biggest stage acts, BMX ramps and Trampwall, along with additional acts such as teeterboard or Trampwell Slam Dunk, parkour and hilarious comedy scenes.

Livestock Shows

Getting up close with livestock is one of the most magical aspects of the fair.

Horses, mini horses, sheep, alpaca, cattle, dogs, goats and rabbits are among the many animals you may get to meet. You can pet and feed furry friends in the petting zoo, visit the interactive show rings, and learn more about these majestic creatures from their handlers. Be prepared for an immersive agricultural experience unlike any other on Cape Cod!

Ever wonder what the judges are looking for when choosing the showmanship winners? Here are the important criteria — cleanliness and appearance of the animals and stalls, attractiveness of the overall exhibit, how engaging the exhibitor is with fellow exhibitors and the public, and educational merit.
