2015 Rockingham County Fair

Fair time is upon us once again (it’s hard to believe how fast time flies)! We will have our buildings on location, so be sure to stop by and see us! We will have someone there who can help you determine what would work best for your farm or backyard storage.

Here is some information about the Rockingham County Fair from their website.

The first Rockingham County Fair was held at the Linville Ball Park, August 31 – September 3, 1949. Many smaller fairs were held before 1949 at Ed’s Park at Rawley Springs, in Harrisonburg, on the Whitesel-Sit lot, and at the present location of Memorial Stadium. From 1950 to 1951, the fair lasted four days; from 1952 to 1963, it lasted five days; and since 1964, it has run for six days.

The fair has been held at the present site on US Rt. 11 since 1980. The fairgrounds currently account for 111 acres of land, including a 21,000-square-foot exhibit hall.

It also features a barn complex with more than 80,000 square feet of roofed space. This accommodates hundreds of hogs, sheep, goats, beef cattle, and dairy cattle. Additionally, the facility features a farm museum, a building dedicated to horticulture, flowers, and farm crop displays. There’s also a building for poultry/rabbit exhibits. Plus, numerous food concessions are operated by local civic organizations.

There is also a 4,000-seat grandstand, which seats an additional 2,500 at ground level. There is parking on the grounds for over 7,000 vehicles, with parking capacity expanding in 2014.

Carports!

Carports for Your Home or Business

In addition to our storage sheds, we offer the Carolina Carport. Interestingly, many people may not be aware of this option. Over the past five years, we have been a dealer and have consistently been pleased with the quality and service they provide. Furthermore, Carolina Carports offers an excellent way to protect vehicles or equipment from sun damage and winter weather. You can also fully customize your order, choosing either a basic carport or a fully enclosed garage unit with roll-up doors. In addition, installation on a level lot is included in the price.
