For just over one week, every September, the Fairgrounds in Farmville become a hive of activity as the Fair rolls into town and the annual Five County Fair takes place. All the sights, sounds and smells of the fair are there to be enjoyed. A variety of rides can be enjoyed from the thrilling which fill the air with screams to the magical like the carousel. The smell of candy floss, funnel cakes and frying onions fills the air and the sounds of everyone having a good time. Prize winners of all sorts are on display from cows and sheep to baked goods and arts.
Local vendors come down for the week to show off their wares and meet their customers.
Local talent and beauty from the five counties is on display at the Beauty and Talent contests and there are several other shows and displays along the way to inform and entertain. MoonStar took part in this year's fair in several ways and recorded some of the goings on while we were there. You can check out some of the sights of the fair .
