Rockingham County Fair ~2008~

.

Rockingham County Fair August 11-16th, 2008




Nice kick-off for the Rockingham County Fair on Monday 11 August with many people arriving as I was leaving and the start of the Moto-cross event at the Pepsi Grandstand...












The Harrisonburg \ Rockingham Republican Party had the usual impressive campaign booth covering all of the local and national candidates in the upcoming elections...



Republican Candidate for Harrisonburg City Council Tracy Evans working the booth and walking in the daily parade held each day at 6:30pm...













United States Marines and members of the Stonewall Detachment of the Marine Corps League challenge parade patrons to the "chin-up" bar and to step up for the "Toys for Tots" program with a donation\entry into the drawing for an authentic M-1 Garand...




Artist Charles R. Vogan Jr. in front of some of his works on display at the Fair and can be found at "The Presidential Gallery"...



Noticed a friend and co-worker over the Democratic Party booth and stopped by to say hello to Muawia and talk "Politics" which we do often at work during break times. Muawia is new to the local political scene and I always enjoy and appreciate his viewpoints of topics we discuss, but I must admit I was dissapointed by the reception and actions of the Democratic Party "operatives" at the booth once I was introduced as a person from the "Rightside" of politics...
