Caroline happy as new home of State Fair

Fredericksburg.com - Caroline happy as new home of State Fair.

The State Fair of Virginia attracted an older crowd than usual at its new location this year, according a survey of attendees. Survey results show an increase in fairgoers ages 45 and up, and a decrease in attendees ages 12 to 17. These results came from a two-page questionnaire given at random to some of the 248,000 who attended the 11-day fair, which was held for the first time at The Meadow Event Park in Caroline County this fall. State Fair President Curry Roberts noted a few of the unreleased survey's highlights to Caroline supervisors at their meeting this week. He did not give percentages on the age breakdown. According to the surveys, about 14 percent said they were from the Fredericksburg or Northern Virginia areas. That's up from 6 percent from last year, when the fair was held in Henrico County. About 68 percent of those surveyed came from the Richmond area. Of those surveyed, 15 percent were attending the fair for the first time ever. About 70 percent attended for the first time in five years, and about 11 percent attended for the first time in 10 years. Roberts said the education level and household income of this year's fairgoers were higher than last year. Overall, 88 percent of those surveyed said the fair met or exceeded their expectations, and more believe this year's fair was a good value for the money compared with last year. The major concerns were problems with traffic and parking, which resulted in a 7.9 out of 10 ranking of the fair's entrance. That's down from last year, Roberts said, and will be a priority for improvement next year. For future use of The Meadow Event Park, fairgoers said they would like to see food and music festivals--specifically country and gospel--and shows for crafts, homes, Christmas, dogs and antique cars.

One day of Mesa County Fair cut

One day of Mesa County Fair cut.

Mesa County officials will lop one day off the annual summer fair next year, a nod to the lean local economy and the fact that the last day traditionally draws the fewest people. Fair organizers have eliminated Sunday from next year’s five-day event, which will run July 20-24. A sixth day was added in 2007, and Sunday usually has featured side acts and shows. But administrators decided to revert back to a five-day fair next summer, and those acts and shows will be moved to other days. Fairgrounds Manager Marsha Kosteva said part of what drove the decision to reduce the length of the fair was the fact some patrons came out on Sunday expecting to see animals, only to learn the livestock auctions and the 4-H Club shows were completed by Saturday night. She also acknowledged that Sunday’s attendance is lower than any other day. Of the nearly 17,000 vehicles that drove into the fairgrounds for last year’s fair, fewer than 1,500 showed up on Sunday. The next lowest day was the first day of the fair on Tuesday, when nearly 1,900 passed through the gates. All other days drew at least 3,200 vehicles, according to Kosteva. The fair this year pulled in a few thousand dollars less and cost a few thousand dollars more to put than last year, according to figures provided by Kosteva. She said eliminating Sunday in 2010 will reduce both the fair’s revenue and expenses, although she didn’t know by how much
