It's never too late in the year for a county fair; just ask Amherst County. It started Thursday night and lasts throught the weekend. Head over to Sweet Briar Drive and enjoy the Amherst County Fair.

Thursday and Sunday nights will cost $3 a person, while Friday and Saturday night tickets are $5 each.
