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!
