The Prince William County Fair kicks off this Friday at 5 p.m.
The annual event just outside Manassas City will feature carnival rides, livestock, a petting zoo, a stingray petting area, wine tastings, chainsaw art, live music, dinosaur shows, local crafters, and vendors, a
4-H display, and the always popular demolition derby in the grandstand.
The fair also features several competitions from best livestock, flowers, plants, and vegetables, photography, pet show, and baby contest.
The event is held at the Prince William County Fairgrounds, located at 10624 Dumfries Road in Manassas.
Advance discounted tickets are $6, and $5 for children and seniors. An advance family pack of five tickets is sold for $50. These tickets may not be used on August 16, and do not include admission to the grandstand area where the demolition derby is held.
Advance discounted tickets are sold at the fair office at the fairgrounds. Tickets are also sold at the door.
The Prince William County Fair was started 67 years ago by a group of World War II veterans. The Prince William Veterans Farm Club, the group that puts on the fair, prides itself on taking no tax dollars from any government source — local, state, or federal — to put on the show.
The Prince William County Fairgrounds is located at 10624 Dumfries Road in Manassas.
