Staff of the State Fair of West Virginia

The 100th annual State Fair of West Virginia is set to kick off in just six days, and if you’ve ever been anywhere near it, you know what a Herculean task it is to put together. From all the rides, to the animal areas, to the food stands, and the parking – months and months of planning are condensed into just a few short days of set up.

We here at The RealWV understand the size and scope of this job, and we also know that without the dedicated fair staff, thousands of smiling faces would have less to smile about. It takes hundreds of staff members and volunteers out in the hot sun to pull off this monumental task, and it certainly does not go unnoticed.

For everything that Kelly Collins and her team do to make the State Fair one of the Mountain State’s biggest and best celebrations, we are thrilled to name the staff of the State Fair of West Virginia as the certified Real West Virginians of the Week.
