Bitter Sweet: The Fair is in town

The Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair is in town.

From July 30th to Sunday, August 7th, there is something to do just about every hour of the day at the Fair.

This has always been bitter sweet to me. As a kid, it was something to look forward to after the festivities of the 4th of July. It was a milestone to get to after braving the heat at the pool everyday. Would this year be the year I had enough guts to ride the Zipper? (spoiler, it took like 6 years)

The Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair also signified the end of Summer. I always knew that once the fair rolled around, there wasn’t much time left before back-to-school shopping and the prerequisite “dress code haircut.” No photo.

This year it stings a little bit more. The school year is starting, what feels to me, about a month too soon. That means that The Fredericksburg Fair might actually be the end of Summer. Bummer.

Well, with just about a week to go before the kids are back in school, let’s make the best of it! Here’s a breakdown of the Fair’s schedule for today, August 3rd through Sunday, August 7th (as found on www.fredericksburgfair.org/fair-schedule) :
