Posted by: No Way! ()

With all the taxes I pay and the high salaries Fairfax government employees get paid... but the county can't put on a free fair like usual county fair are?

You're not going to be there? What will I do? I am so sad.

The county fairs I went to in NY had entrance fees, nothing for life is free.

In other words, you just arrived in Northern Virginia yesterday, carpetbagger...

Back when it was called "The Fairfax Fair" they had BETTER bands and assorted entertainment and...it was free.

Shut the fuck up, loser...

Lucky you. I've been to several around the Commonwealth. I don't remember one true County Fair that I did not have to pay admission or at least pay for parking. I do remember the fairs they used to hold at GMU and don't remember paying for them, but they were not real county fairs.

$15 for the privilege of paying more to stand in line for a ride, or to buy nasty food, or to be harassed by overly aggressive sales pitches? No thanks!

Yes, it's a rip off.

Went last yr.

15 dollars just gets you in the gate.

Then, you can pay for crap food and other stuff.

They did have free cold water though in the Fairfax Water Authority display area. Ironically, I think it was bottled water. LOL.

You nailed. I went last year and the fair was nothing but a bunch of street vendors trying to sell my crap like gutters.

The Fairfax fair is big ripoff. Whatever happened to county fairs that way they are suppose to be. Free, great events all day, fireman showing off spraying water, lots of livestock, homemade food competitions, eating contests...

And guess who gets to go to the fair free... You guess it, Fairfax county government workers and board members. If they are going to charge residents then they should pay TOO!

Not only do they in free, but they take a day off on Friday for exclusive use.

Are implying that their maybe some people "on take" at the Fairfax fair? Who really runs event anyway?

Does the county hire a company to run it?

Born and raised in Vienna dumbass...
And yes, the Fairfax City Fair was free... That is in the Fall, and the Midway stopped due to low sales.

Like I said, your just a poor ass punk that is too cheap to drop $50 at a county fair, glad you won't be there to spread your slime! So happy they charge so that your type doesn't try to mingle with the honest hard working, deserving people of Fairfax County.

The $15 fee is to cover the cost of the bands, fireworks, petting zoo, and other entertainment. If you enter the ride area before 5:00pm you can get an unlimited ride stamp for $23. Or you can volunteer to work Celebrate Fairfax and get free entry after your shift.

Better bands? Celebrate Fairfax has Bush, Everclear, Vertical Horizon, and Fastball ... how many platinum albums or chart singles did JUXT, Ebb and Nova, or the Bad Influence Band (all featured at the Herndon Festival) rack up in that time? The festival is free because it's all no-name garage bands, not national touring acts.

Bush,Everclear, Vertical Horizon, and Fastball???? You call those headliner bands??

They are all washed up by over 10 years. I've never even heard of Fastball, Is that some girls softball team with guitars?

You can be an exhibitor or work with one and get in free that way. My org, used to do exhibits there. I'm not a member any more, so I don't know if they still do it, but they used to.

Fastball had the smash hit "The Way" and actually put out a decent album after that called "Little White Lies." I'm not a fan of their most recent album though.

No, it was piped in with a temporary water line hooked up inside the government center. And it not just free water, it comes in a decent plastic cup and they are generous with the ice.

As long as Everclear, the anti-Christian hate band is there, you cannot even pay me a zillion dollars to be there. Many years ago, use to regularly attend the county fair (admission was cheaper then too), but that was before the county overall became so liberal and politically correct or should say incorrect.

Howard County Fair in August is $5 and free parking. It's a real county fair with farm animals, church dining halls, 4H, rides, tractors, etc. Frederick County Fair is much bigger, and also not expensive.
