PW Fair continues through Saturday
The Prince William County Fair continues through Saturday night, offering a demolition derby, bellydancing show, pro wrestling and a motocross jump-off this weekend.
Throughout the fair's nine-day run this year, 60-year-olds have gotten in free, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the event.
That policy will continue through the weekend.
“It's been very well received, general manager Keith Johnson said of the 60-year-old special. He estimated that as of Monday, about 100 people had received free admission.
Overall, more than 28,000 people attended during the first three days of the fair.
“It's been a very good weekend,” he said.
