With only one day to go until the Vance County Fair brings lights, food and entertainment to Henderson’s Fairgrounds, fair managers Ron and Mary Weber joined WIZS’ Town Talk to discuss new attractions and ways to make your visit more affordable.
An annual event for the community for nearly 100 years, Ron said the Webers “really want to revitalize the fair and the fairgrounds.”
“We’ve brought in a lot of great entertainment, running a bunch of great specials, setting up new rides and offering a variety of food stands; the fair is going to be as big and as full as it has been in a long, long time,” Weber said.
The fair will be open from 5 until 11 p.m. Wed., Sept. 25 through Fri. Sept 27 and 12 until 11 p.m. on Sat. Sept. 28.
General admission is $6 and visitors may purchase an unlimited rides wristband for $25. General parking is available for free, with a $5 charge for premium parking.
Additional savings are available on opening night, or what the Webers refer to as “$2 night.” Admission for anyone entering the fair on Sept. 25 is $2, with all rides also available at $2 each.
The savings continue on Thurs., Sept. 26 for Carload Night – up to eight people properly seated with seatbelts on gain admission to the fair and receive unlimited rides for $50 per vehicle. Weber said this is a great way to make the fair more affordable for the entire family.
Additional advanced sale savings are available online by visiting www.vancecountyfairnc.com.
With new attractions such as the Super Shot Drop Tower and Rock Star, thrill acts such as “The Globe of Death,” a lion and tiger educational show, a petting zoo and a variety of games and food vendors, the Weber’s are expecting a very successful and entertaining 2019 Vance County Fair.
