Walking through the grounds at the Rockingham County Fair is a sight filled with thousands of flashing lights, fluffy toys lining game booths, and of course, rides. But perhaps the most important thing is the food. Bright signs advertise ‘gourmet french fries’, and ‘crisp delicious popcorn’. The “U-Pour It Slush Rush” is one of the main food attractions, with quite a long line.

Sara, who attends the fair every year, enjoyed a pink lemonade slushy.

“[The first time I came to the Fair] I liked it. The food is really good,” Sarah said.

Amy, a mother of two, has been a fair attendee since she was seventeen.

“[My favorite fair food is] definitely the funnel cake,” Amy said while waiting in line at a brightly colored food booth.

With thousands of people each night, the Rockingham County Fair staff must be at the top of their game all night, feeding the hungry masses and preparing for the next hectic day.
