AUGUSTA COUNTY – Every year, the Augusta County Fair brings the community together to celebrate the county’s agricultural industry, blending in fun, educational experiences and entertainment. From livestock judging to acrobats, illusions, laser tag, and diverse cultures, everyone gets a bird’s eye view of the world while enjoying first-class entertainment, the fair said on its website.
Kids receive multicultural, interactive experiences and the ability to learn about the world without leaving the community, the website said. The fair provides family entertainment and supports the community and local businesses. It is fun, fellowship, food and a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones while learning something new.
