We couldn't ask for better weather and we're just really glad to be back and be open," Kathy Dixon with the fair said.

We've got entertainment, we've got foods, we've got arts and crafts, we have the livestock competitions that can earn money for the youth competing. They get scholarships and it's just a great, great opportunity for people to see the best of Virginia. While most parking at the event is free, attendees can purchase a pass closer to the fair itself. If you want to purchase an additional ticket for parking, you get a little bit closer, but we have some trams that will take people from the parking lot across the way and so it's free," Dixon said.

Dixon said that the best way to purchase tickets is in advance in order to save some time and money. To purchase tickets, click here.
