On Tuesday, October 5, the Halifax County Fair will open with five days of special events celebrating its 100th Anniversary. This year’s event will showcase a retrospective of an annual tradition that began on lower Main Street in South Boston VA and has grown to be a cornerstone fall event that continues to unite the community through agriculture, rides, food and music.

The Fair's new website (http://www.halifaxcountyfair.com) has just been launched, along with the schedule for performers who have been booked so far.  This year's entertainment will include the flamboyant Marty Stuart, the Second Annual Bluegrass Festival, and the Annual 4-H Talent Show that has been so popular over the years.

Halifax County's Department of Tourism plans to add a vacation rentals feature to their website, www.gohalifaxva.com; if you own vacation rental property in Halifax County, or live in the county and own vacation rental property that may be outside of the county but is close enough for county tourists to use (like Buggs Island Lake), contact me to find out how you can list your property on the site.

The vacation rental listings will be free, with "featured" listings available for a small fee.  Listings will be similar to the format on real estate websites, so you'll be able to include details of your property, photos, etc., and all contacts will come directly to you - not the Tourism office.
