Update

Once more it appears the fair organizers have either pushed back the Richmond Fair or cancelled it entirely. The whole thing seems rather unorganized at this point. An interesting quote from the organizer:

“I’m not an economics major, but I know if you give somebody a good value, everybody will be happy. That’s all we’re trying to do. Various branches of y’all’s government made it overly difficult to do business,” Lovell said.

“Some of the people we dealt with the city were forthright . . . and fair and they didn’t mislead you down an endless road. In other branches of the government, they need to be exposed for who they are. Whether they are dishonest or whether they are incompetent. It’s one of the two; I don’t know which one it is,” he said.

The Richmond Fair website says “FAIR DATES PENDING….. STAY TUNED!”

Original Post

After sorting out some concerns with the RPD regarding security, the Richmond Fair is all ready to go starting this Sunday continuing through Sunday the 26th.

The fair features live music every day and attractions including a petting zoo, pig races, bottle fed animals(!), and rides.

The fair is located in and around the Diamond and costs 8$ for adults and 6$ for children 5 – 12.

Make sure to check out their pricing page because there are a couple good deals throughout the week.
