Continuing with my SUMMER themed photographs I thought you would enjoy these fab shots of carnival rides from the Fun Zone at the West Virginia State Fair. We spent last Saturday afternoon in Lewisburg, West Virginia at the Fair.
The first event to be called the State Fair in West Virginia occurred in Wheeling on February 1, 1881. The Lewisburg fair evolved from local events that date back to 1854. In 1941 the state government declared it to be the official State Fair. However, World War II forced cancellation of the event until 1946.
Here's a video clip from the film STATE FAIR (circa1962) featuring the Rodgers and Hammerstein lyrics below:
Our State Fair is a great state fair
Don't Miss it don't even be late(our state fair is great)
It's dollars to doughnuts at our state fairIt's the best state fair in the state
-chants-OUR STATE FAIR IS A GREAT STATE FAIR IS A GREAT IS A GREAT IS A GREAT STATE FAIR HEY!!

Artist - Rodgers and Hammerstein
