Photos: Va. residents enjoy food and rides at Arlington Co. Fair

The Arlington County Fair continues this weekend through Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023. Although it’s not large enough to have 4-H competitions or demolition derbies, like some county fairs, the event at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center and grounds has been providing competitive exhibits, games, rides, food and entertainment for more than 40 years.
