I just want to thank all the volunteers and paid employees that spent valuable time ensuring that the Louisa County Fair could go on. Despite two floods to begin and end the fair … it still went on. Everyone and animals were kept safe. I am not sure how many other county fairs could have endured everything that went on at our county fair this year and still be able to hold a fair. Now we look forward to a whole new look to the fair next year with the all species barn.
