The 76th annual Williamsburg Fair was celebrated by food, fun, and friends. Williamsburg, notorious for its home cooking, highlighted the fair with biscuits and gravy breakfasts, barbecue, ham and beans, snow cones, popcorn and much more. Fun was had by all with displays of all crafts, history, hobbies, produce from the garden and works of art by the children. Bingo, a bouncy house, water games, climbing wall, rocket launchers, hair tinsel, corn hole and horseshoe tournaments, and craft vendors were among the many activities.
A parade with about 50 floats and other participants made its way through town, later on, there was music Friday evening and all day Saturday culminating with a dance, concert and fireworks. The community of Williamsburg wishes to thank all those who worked diligently to make the Williamsburg Community Fair a huge success and to all those who came from far and wide to enjoy our fair. Special thanks to all those who entered floats, and others who made our parade a huge success.
