Hope to see you at the fair!


The 33rd Annual Arlington County Fair starts next Wednesday and AMEN, along with other Arlington non-profits, will be sharing a space located inside starting Thursday, August 20th.

My two youngest sons were quite small the last time I visited the fair and those boys are now men! So I checked out some pictures online from the 2008 County Fair and I must say, I'm very excited to be apart of this fine event.

Here are some of the photos:



All kinds of rides
For big kids and small











Fun foods that stick to your fingers and face.





And all too often, your waist!










Racing pigs :-)




And munching lamas








Look what I've been missing all these years!

And there is so much more to see and do: competitive exhibits, live entertainment, evening movies, fire engines and police motorcycles, etc.

What a great way to round out the summer with family and friends. It's almost as close as your backyard. You don't have far to drive (flash back to that last drive down I-95 to Kings Dominion :-0)
Plus you will be making wonderful memories right in the county here you live.

So y'all come on out to this year's Arlington County Fair, ride a ride, eat some cotton candy, visit the displays, and stop by and say 'hi' to the AMEN staff.
Hope to see you there!
