Abouth the Fair from our previous story:

“Organized through the Virginia Cooperative Extension Office – Botetourt County and other community leaders, the 7th annual Botetourt County Fair is a free admission event The Fair provides an opportunity for kids, young and young-at-heart, to learn more about the rich agricultural heritage of the region from local working farms, 4-H programs, as well as sample local fare, including Botetourt grown products.”

There will be food from the French Fry and Food stands as well as food served by Both LBHS and JRHS FFA groups through the stand and other place. Best pork chops ever!

One of the highlights is the annual Draft Horse pull at 10 am on the Park grounds. Bring a Chair!

4H Animal Show and Livestock Show and Auction, Award Winning produce and, canned and baked goods, Arts and Crafts judging are among the many things to browse while at the Botetourt County Fair.
