Gas prices, economy don’t hurt W.Va. state fair

Associated Press

LEWISBURG High gas prices and a weak economy didn’t hurt this year’s edition of The State Fair of West Virginia.

Fair manager Marlene Pierson-Jolliffe says fair officials were nervous about the economy and gas prices. But marketing, cost-reduction efforts and streamlining paid off.

Projected attendance figures for the nine-day fair rose slightly, from 190,000 in 2007 to 195,000 this year. Paid gate attendance was up 5 percent while carnival revenue increased 12 percent.
