Sep. 6th-9th for those who didn't know.
Our family will be going. I think it will be a great event for the community.
Easier to get to than the one in Dallas. 
Well, since I only have to cross the street...
Carnies are already here.

to run the Hightail'n it for Heifers 5K - yes
to walk around the fairgrounds with the family - yes
to spend huge amounts of money on fried food and carnival rides - I kinda hope not
Edited race name to make Fletch happy - although, it is a long name for a fun run

Maybe. This is the first time I've seen anything about it.
Not missing it!!!!
Prob not unfortunately. Florida game weekend, so that takes precedence.
Poorly planned imho.

I'm doing both!
Hope everyone comes out for a fun time at the Fair. We are hoping that this gives all the football fans something to do before or after the game (Thursday, Friday, Saturday after A&M BTHO Florida, and Sunday). Fair food will include funnel cakes, dippin' dots, roasted corn, all the great fair food you want!
austrolopithecus, I agree that the timing coinciding with the Florida game is unfortunate.
But it seems to me that this event was probably scheduled before the football schedule was set--late because of the move to the SEC.
Just a thought . . . I hope people will go to both!

Probably because the last couple times this was posted about in here, staff deleted the threads.
Nought, google it. There's a website.
Yes, already have tickets.
BrazosValleyFair.com check it out lots of stuff going on over the four days of the event.
Have been going to the Washington County Fair since our oldest was born 10 years ago. We are definitely going to the inaugural BCF and will make an annual tradition of it!! Game weekend or not.
Will be there Sunday.
whole family is going, can't wait!
This is the first I've heard about it. We'll probably go. I actually like fair food. lol. I miss the East Texas State Fair.
OP, didn't you post this last year and everyone condemned you for hyping your own trade show?
Op just registered in February, dummy.
I'm kind of disappointed this is the first anyone has heard about it. I don't watch commercials on tv nor listen to them on the radio, though, so I'm not sure how else they'd get the word out besides social networking. I heard about it through word of mouth. Maybe I'll do some "sharing" on Facebook this week 
I've heard it on the radio.. don't watch the local TV stations much though.
Hope its a good turnout, our county really needs this. Great event.

Can't wait, my little one is doin' the Mutton Bustin' on Sunday!
We will definitely be there. Can't wait to watch mutton busting! It should be an awesome weekend.
There was a 16 page special section in the paper yesterday, and I've seen ads online.

Not everyone in this town lives and dies aggie football.
Then tibbs you're good with 2 seasons at Reliant?
That may be true, but due to traffic, restaurants, and hotels, they should have put it on a weekend not during football season. You may not care about football season but there are 200,000 people coming to town that weekend who do.
Going to the game so that will be enough crowds for me until the Oct. home game.
We're going to the fair and the game. It can be done. The fair is 4 days. Plenty of time to squeeze both in and maybe First Friday too.

Doing it on a game weekend makes way more sense than on an off-weekend. Tons of folks in town, aside from the game they might be looking for stuff to do...why not give them a reason to come into town on Thursday instead of Friday night?
