The 75th annual Williamsburg Community Fair was celebrated with food, fun, and friends. Williamsburg, notorious for its home cooking, highlighted the fair with walking tacos, biscuits and gravy breakfasts, barbecue, 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, a dunk tank, cornhole and horseshoe tournaments, square dancing, and craft vendors were among the activities.
A parade with about 50 floats and other participants made its way through town and of course music was ongoing 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.
