The Board of Directors of the Washington County Agricultural Fair held their annual Media Day to let the public know what is new coming to the event this year. The fair runs from August 10 – 17 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily. Board President Todd Richards says that the opening concert will be replaced by a rodeo this year. He said public opinion has consistently indicated that fairgoers would like to see the rodeo. This year there will be two Buckey Rodeo events scheduled for Sunday August 11 at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM. There will still be concerts throughout the fair. Groups include A. C. and the Resistors, Good Karma, Scott Blasey from the Clarks, Ruff Creek and Joey Adams. Several renovations have gone on over the past year. Wayne Hunnell, Secretary of the Board says that Hall Three was completely gutted and renovated. The Historic Horse Barn and the 4-H Horse barn also saw extensive work. Volunteers always play an important part in fairground renovations. Aiden McMurray, a local Boy Scout, Eagle Scout replaced the fencing along the race track for his Eagle Scout project. Parking is also important. Scott Becker, Executive Director and CEO of the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum says that they will be transporting fair-goers from three different parking lots. The first is at the Eaton Facility on Main Street. The second is from the Welcome and Education Center at 1 Electric Way and finally from their West Campus parking lot at 1 Museum Road.
