Virginia State Fair plans comeback this fall

Don’t worry about being too short to ride.

The Virginia State Fair — which was sidelined in 2020 because of the pandemic — plans to be back this year on a run from Sept. 24 to Oct. 3 at the Meadow Event Park in Caroline County.

Ticket prices for the 2021 event will be posted in late spring. In general, prices vary by age and range from $10 to $15 per person for gate admissions, according to the event’s website.

The organization said to be on the lookout for deals from its Facebook account.

General hours range from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Hours may vary between weekdays and weekends.

More information is available on the state fair’s website.

Completing the FAFSA: Everything you should know

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $111.6 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2022, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
