The annual Dover Days fair is not at all far off. It's on Saturday, in fact. Sept. 21, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the town common is opening once again to the annual Dover Days fair. The event has been running for more than 30 years, according to the Parks and Rec website, and this year will be open to out of town vendors as well as local ones--and Cradles to Crayons is collecting there.
