September & October are THE Months for Many State Fairs Across the Country

My family loves to go to our state fair in Virginia. My oldest likes some of the rides, but we all enjoy seeing the livestock and small animals, the FFA competitions and the horse shows. I was surprised to see all of the other state’s fairs that were in September and October when I looked up when our fair was this year. If you are interested in any of the specific competitions, but particularly the livestock, be sure to check the fair’s schedule. Most of the animals are only there for a few days while they are competing.

Does anyone know what goes into determining when a particular state’s fair is? I would guess it is dependent on typical harvest schedules. Florida’s happens to be in February!

    The Isle of Wight County Fair was this past weekend. So much to do! Ride an elephant, participate in a fire department training exercise, ride a monster truck, TONS of rides, concerts, face painting, petting zoo, lots of contests, crafts and FAIR FOOD!!!! We had a blast! I was finally able to peel my 5 year old away from the rides around 11PM!!!! He seemed so full of energy, until he sat down in the car seat and it was OVER! :)
