Something For Everyone at the Fair When school began in Au¬ gust there were several things that automatically came to mind: there would once again be a line of yellow school bus¬ es blocking morning traffic, the leaves would soon be changing, football season was underway, the World Series would be played soon, and most importantly, the Patrick County Fair would open in a few weeks. The fair was looked upon with great anticipation by both the yound and the old. There was something there for everyone. Music, exhibits, booths, rides, and endless op¬ portunities to try your luck at winning a prize. Record crowds passed through the gates of the fair all six nights. Miss Patrick County, Rene Pendleton, officially opened the fair on Monday, which was Miss Patrick County Fair Night. Sandy Baliles was crowned Miss Patrick County Fair and went on to the state county fair pageant. Tuesday night was desig¬ nated Mac Wiseman Night with Mr. Wiseman perform¬ ing for the public in the grandstand. Wednesday night was given to the kids. All students were admitted free that night and were given the chance to win a bicycle. In the grandstand on Wednes¬ day night, fairgoers were en¬ tertained by county 4-H’ers as various Share-the-Fun acts and the annual J.P. Stevens fashion show were on stage. Thursday night was Hol¬ landers Night and in the grandstand that night, The Hollanders (a family musical group) performed for a large audience. On Friday night, a game of “The Price is Right” was presented in the grand¬ stand with over $4,000 in prizes being given away. On the final night of the fair, Saturday night, there were various activities. These included a Fireman’s Compe¬ tition, a Horseshoe Pitching Tournament, a Bicycle Com¬ petition, and a Flatfooting Competition, only to mention a few. The fair wound down with a giant fireworks display leaving all fairgoers with a pleasant and unique memory of the fair of 1982. 18 Patrick County Fair

Sandy Baliles smiles brightly as she is crowned Miss Patrick County Fair of 1982. Donna Fulcher and Kim Wright show fairgoers what fun it is to demolish a car while supporting the PCHS cheerleaders. “The Bullet”, one of the most popular rides at the fair, shines brightly as it turns students upside down in midair. The Dunking Booth of the Patrick County Band Boosters was a big hit with the public as many school and town officials, like Tony Giorno, volunteered to take a dip. The happy expression on the face of Tina Pratt is typical of fairgoers as she enjoys playing a game at the Patrick County Fair. Patrick County Fair 19
