State Fair Expo Guide State Fair Expo Map
The
Virginia State Fair is located in its permanent home at The Meadow
Event Park, in Doswell, Virginia (near King’s Dominion). GFWC
Virginia clubwomen are again needed to serve as volunteers for the
Educational Exposition and our volunteer dates for the 2011 State
Fair are October 5, 6 and 7. Nearly 10,000 students from all over
the State will take in the sights and sounds of the Fair and our
volunteers will help to facilitate that experience. This
year will mark our twenty-sixth year of service to this project and
we are again counting on your support to make it a success!!!
District Assignments
Wednesday, October 5 – Northern (20),

All volunteers receive free admission to the Fair and free parking on the day that they volunteer. Family and friends may volunteer with you and their admission and parking are free on that day as well. If you are unable to work on your district’s assigned day, we invite you to volunteer on another day. If you would like to volunteer on more than one day, we welcome your additional participation. Each volunteer will be mailed an information packet, and on the day that you volunteer, you will receive a special commemorative State Fair pin!

Volunteer Opportunities
Greeters: These volunteers greet the school buses, give a brief orientation to the children and teachers, and see the group safely to the entrance of the Fairgrounds.
Facilitators: These volunteers are stationed at one of the exhibits to explain the displays to the children, or along the route to help the groups find their way. There are both indoor and outdoor positions, and many will be in temporary structures.
