Get ready and plan your trip for West Virginia's 86th Annual State Fair, August 13-21, 2010 - Genuine Homegrown Fun!

The State Fair of West Virgnia is held annually in mid-August on the State Fairgrounds in Fairlea, near Lewisburg, West Virginia. The State Fairgrounds consists of a large open field for carnivals and exhibitions, a horse track, grandstands, and several exhibition buildings. The fair is always a great success because of the support of the community, and fair goers from all over the state.

The annual State Fair attracts 200,000 visitors and is the largest multi-day celebration in West Virginia.  The State Fair of West Virginia, with an $8.9 million dollar economic impact on Greenbrier County, is a 501 © 3 non-profit corporation committed to the traditions of agriculture, family, entertainment, and education.

Check out some of  the activities....the concerts include Boys Like Girls, George Jones, Rodney Atkins, Lady Antebellum, and many, many more!  Other Free entertainment include:

• Kay Rosaire's Big Cat Encounter! - Watch and marvel as Clayton Rosaire, the youngest professional big cat handler performing today, joins numerous Siberian & Royal Bengal Tigers in an enclosed arena!

• Cirque Equinox - Nouveau Theatrical Circus - An entertainment trailblazing dynasty established in 1840 in Switzerland, taking CIRQUE through 2010 and beyond!

• ZOOperstars! Six crazy characters will be on hand every day of the Fair to promote their crazy antics with Fair goers of all ages!  

• Agricultural Magic in the Farmer for a Day tent - Using magic, storytelling, juggling and music to get the agriculture message across in a fun entertaining way.

• MOO U - This one the kids will not want to miss - A 50 minute tour - an interactive way to learn about amazing animals at the Fair! Tour takes you into the barns and into the world of each animal. The syllabus for MOO U is simple; to learn the purpose of production livestock, how resourceful these animals are to our daily lives and to learn fun trivia too.

Fairlea is located in the southeastern part of West Virginia, in Greenbrier Valley.   As of the 2000 census, Fairlea's population was 1,706.   This small community is well known for the largest state fairgrounds, and has the largest end-of-summer celebration in West Virginia.

AND, what's a Fair without FIREWORKS - Saturday, August 14 and August 21 @ 10:30 pm - Enjoy Zambelli Fireworks! Creating and displaying the best fireworks shows in the US and abroad, since 1893.

I remember the first time I went to Fairlea for the State Fair.  It was absolutely overwhelming to me as a child, so many carnival rides, animals, so much food, and so many people.  Now living in Lewisburg, I take my family, nieces and nephews to the fair.  I love to see the children's faces, especially when they visit the agricultural buildings and see all the animals (horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, etc).  It is still overwhelming and I can tell the children have the same excitement as I did my first time to the fair.

Don't forget the date of West Virginia's largest state fair August 13-21, 2010....See you there!

DO YOU KNOW??? --  Where and when was the first West Virginia State Fair?

Localism for Lewisburg WV 

I have a listing for some commercial property on Route 219 in Fairlea, West Virginia. The signs we originally put on the property were the regular Realtor signs.  Since this is a busy location, the property needed larger signs, so we ordered two new signs (3x5). 

Well, since my partner and I could not put the signs up, my broker Tom Johnson. and my husband, Claude, volunteered to put the wood posts in the ground.  The posts had to go in the ground about a foot or more to ensure stability. 

So, after work, I drove by the property to check out the signs.....and OMIGOSH....one sign was on the wrong property. 

So, Tom and Claude ..... go back to the property and remove the sign that was on the wrong property....THIS TIME I GO WITH THEM!  

As you can see...the men are busy bees.  While working on this task, Tom gets a call from someone who lives near the property to tell him we have a sign stating Commercial property for sale. The caller goes on to say that the property is residential and you can't advertise it as commercial.  Tom politely says, "yes we know and at this time are fixing this error".  Whew....glad we had removed the sign before more calls started coming into the office.

The moral of the story....if you want signs placed correctly on the property, do it yourself or be sure to tag along.

This prime commercial property located across from the Greenbrier Valley Medical Center , consists of 3.77 acres with public utilities.  List Price is $380,000.  Property can be accessed from Route 219 South, as well as Maplewood Avenue.   Nearby, a Hospice is being constructed on a lot sold this year.  Easy access to and from the hospital (directly across the street).  The property is an ideal location for a medical clinic, pharmacy, apartments, etc.
