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 2010 State Fair are September 29, September 30, and October 1. 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!!!

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 parking pass, and on the day that you volunteer, you will receive a special commemorative State Fair pin!
