A ten day state fair at the fairgrounds near Lewisburg, with livestock shows and sales, a horse show, grandstand events, and a carnival midway.
Ten days in the Greenbrier Valley every August, run since 1924 by a private association rather than the state despite the name, which is why it survived years when the legislature would not have funded it.
