State Fair of Virginia at the Meadow

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 2012 State Fair are October 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.  There have been several changes made and we thank you for your continued interest and involvement. Since we only recently knew that there would be an Educational Exposition, there may not be as many student participants. We have been asked to help with the elementary students on Monday and Tuesday and with the Middle and High School Students on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday.  This year will mark our twenty-seventh year of service to this project and we are again counting on your support to make it a success!!!

Due to the change in the Fair, we will NOT have District Assigned dates.  We need a total of 15 volunteers each day.

 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 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!
