MINERAL WELLS, WV - Organizers are hoping for a big week as the 39th annual West Virginia Interstate Fair and Exposition kicks off today near Mineral Wells.
The fair runs today through Saturday at the fairgrounds on Butcher Bend Road.
Throughout the day on Monday, crews from Reithoffer Shows were busy putting together the carnival rides while vendors were setting up their booths and livestock raisers were getting their animals ready to show, said Russ Collins, vice president of the fair board.
''Things are coming together,'' he said. ''Three days ago this was a little flat farm with an office and a few small buildings. You look out there (Monday) and we are a little city.''
Activities begin today with the 4-H Rabbit Show at 9 a.m. and still exhibit judging at 10 a.m.
''The main grounds and everything will be open at noon,'' Collins said. ''That is when we officially kick things off.''READ MORE AT:http://www.newsandsentinel.com/page/content.detail/id/550122/Interstate-fair-kicks-off-today.html?nav=5061
