Greetings!

It’s hard to believe that the time has come around again for the Rockbridge Regional Fair and Farm Show and we cannot wait to share some exciting changes with you.

We continue to partner with the local Farm Bureau, thereby strengthening our commitment to agriculture and to the community. There are several other talented people that are heading up the homemaking divisions, poultry, quilts, art and horticulture.

Sherwood Amusements will be returning this year with additional teen/adult rides and a broader layout for the individual rides. We have added a Cutting Horse Show which will be held in the Coliseum this year and expanded the Southern States Horse Show in the Wiley by an evening.

4-H has expanded their region to include four additional counties to our already expanded list. In addition to Rockbridge County, the counties now represented are Bath, Botetourt, Craig, and Nelson. They have added a new event called “The Rock Jackpot Lamb & Goat Show” on Saturday afternoon. Back again this year will be the popular interactive ag displays and poultry exhibits as well.

New this year in Barn 6 on Friday and Saturday, will be a “Rockbridge Fleece Festival” with a llama and alpaca demonstration.

This year’s music returns to the Entertainment Tent and will be free to the public. We have added two new events on Wednesday – a Lip Sync contest and a Water Wars event. We will roll out a ”Worship & Praise” night on Thursday featuring local churches, local talent and a bluegrass band, The Annie Wade Band, from Virginia Beach. Friday night we welcome back local star Sarajane McDonald followed by Seven Mile Ford and wrapping it up on Saturday with the newly reunited Deer Creek Boys.

We hope you will support us as we embrace our heritage, enhance our community and have a fun, affordable, family event.

Sincerely,Deborah A. Work

Modern Muscle Motorsports will place your vehicle on the dynamometer, with the driving wheels on the dyno rollers. Your vehicle is tested with the engine running, in gear, and under various speeds and load conditions. While we are running these tests we monitor the engine performance by comparing the horse power transmitted to the drive wheels in relation to the amount of engine vacuum. Simultaneously, our Wide-Band Air/Fuel Monitor will be monitoring the carburetion to check each circuit of the carburetor. These circuits can then be changed to produce the maximum driveability and efficiency.
