Event details: The State Fair of West Virginia 2010
Description
The State Fair of West Virginia, with an $8.9 million dollar economic impact on Greenbrier County, is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation committed to the traditions of agriculture, family, entertainment, and education. The Declaration of Independence was only 78 years old when the first recorded fair was conducted in Greenbrier Valley, Virginia. In 1854, the Greenbrier Agricultural Society began organizing and conducting an annual fair where agricultural accomplishments could be displayed. This popular event attracted entries of livestock, produce and household items from farms thoughout the area. The first fair was conducted at Mr. Nesmiths Grove, on approximately 2 acres of land. The location of this event was determined by current historians to be at the corner of Washington and Lee Streets in Lewisburg. About 150 northeast of the present location of Lewisburg United Methodist Church.
