Prince William County Fair 2019

2019

August 9-17

Fair Launches Into 70th Year Events celebrating farms and fun one more time

T

he first Prince William County Fair was celebrated in large bold letters at the top of The Manassas Journal: VETERANS’ FARM CLUB COUNTY FAIR SET FOR MANASSAS. The event was promoted as the “first showing of products of the farm since 1922.”

The fair was organized by farmers and WWII veterans who built a fair with a handful of tents in a field in 1949.

“The fair promises to be the most elaborate and extensive ever produced in the county and already there

have been a wide variety of livestock, poultry and products of the farm and garden by both young and old.”

In 1951, organizers were celebrating the slogan “Farms Forever, Forever Farms.”

The fair is carrying that same level of energy into its 70th, and likely final, event, Aug. 9-17 at the Prince William County Fairgrounds.

A variety of popular events, contests and live concerts will be open to the public during the nine days.

Monster trucks, a demolition derby and tractor pulls return to the Grandstand.

FOR KIDS

The Power Wheels Derby is a kids’ version of the popular demolition derby show, but with balloons and children’s power

wheels. Children ages 3-10 can participate in the event held in the Grandstand on Aug. 13.

The Baby Contest will be held Aug. 10 for children ages 9-18 months and Aug. 11 for children ages 19-36 months. Each baby contestant will be featured on the fair’s Facebook page and will have a chance to win the Loving Cup, along with prize money.

The Kids Zone will have the daily 3-Ring Super Circus, camel and pony rides, as well as the new Aquatic Acrobatic Show.

MUSICAL ACTS

There will be performances throughout the fair at the Show Barn, including Hot Road Rockers, Wayne Fairfax and Fred Chandler Bluegrass Band, Trey Schneider, Route 66 Band, Special Occasions Group, Page

County Ramblers and the Zac Quintana & The Sages and Lionel Ward & The New World Band.

MORE FUN

Attendees will find the fun and games on the Midway. But there’s more fun with the petting zoo and 4-H exhibits at the Agriculture Barn, wine tastings and local crafters at the Commercial Building, farming antiques and tractors at the Heritage Barn, and chainsaw art from Ackmonster and the mechanical bull rides at Gate 4.

See the map, schedule and more info on some of the big events in this special section.

Prince William County prepared for the launch of the fair with a headline at the top of The Manassas Journal in 1950 (right) and with a photo of two girls outside of the fairgrounds the following year (above).

Brian Ackley will be back carving wooden pieces live Ackmonster spending one last fair at Gate 4

T

he Ackmonster will return to create stunning wooden pieces right at the fairgrounds — one more time.

Like the fair, the Ackmonster is also hanging up his traveling chainsaw.

Brian Ackley of Bridgeton, N.J., announced last month that, after 22 years, he’ll be leaving the “professional carver” business.

“I’m not quitting carving,” he said in a message on Facebook.

“It’ll just become a hobby instead of a living.”

Fairgoers and staff can bid on the pieces, and the highest bid takes home the piece.

The display is located at Gate 4 during operating hours each day.

You can also take a turn on the mechanical bull rides at Gate 4.

Dave Martin’s Rodeo returns

D

ave Martin’s rodeo career spans nearly five decades. Passionately devoted to producing the best shows in the region, he supervises, consults, choreographs and oversees new, innovative and many times unexpected ideas for the shows that entertain over 250,000 fans annually.

Each animal is an important member of the family. The “Fly-By-Night Crew” lives, travels, and works together caring for the animals, which is not only a 24-hour-a-day commitment, but a way of life.

When Dave was four, his parents took him to see Tommy Steiner's Rodeo at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg, PA. When the rodeo bug bit the lad, it bit hard. All through school, Dave was obsessed with rodeo. While other boys were thinking about Boy Scouts, baseball or girls, Dave was thinking about Brahma bulls and bucking horses. At 16, Dave began a 10-year career as a rodeo contestant, competing in bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, as well as his favorite event, bull riding.

When he was 15, Dave bought bulls in 1969 to practice riding. In 1971, Dave started a business of leasing bulls to rodeos on the eastern seaboard. This business expanded until Dave finally produced his first sanctioned rodeo in 1975, in Hanover, Penn.

When not on the rodeo road, Dave lives on a 150-acre ranch in Fredonia, Penn., that includes an indoor rodeo.
