Prior to this event, the fairs were held at the Fincastle Fair Grounds, and included horse racing and other activities. This year the new fair was held at the Buchanan Carnival Grounds in Buchanan.
This band had a very young singer, who did quite well.

That reminds me of the fairs I used to go to when we lived in Alabama. Something about a county fair!
ReplyDeleteI was sad to know I would be in California and would miss it. Let's hope it is a huge success and they do it again next year.
ReplyDeletehey we were there at the same time because we watched that little singer. he's really good huh? i didn't know it had been 50 years since the last one, the view just said years. we had a good time, hope they do it again...btw, where's the fincastle fair grounds?
ReplyDeleteWish I would have heard about this. Do you know if Fincastle is having anything like that civil war demonstration I attended a couple of years ago?
ReplyDeleteCan honestly say that I have never seen a carved peach pit before. I haven't been to our county fair in years, though it is held here, and have never been to the state fair. Sad, I know.
