AGRICULTURE BARN

& PETTING ZOO

Up Close with Fair Tradition

There’s nothing quite like walking through the Animal Barn at the Amelia County Fair. From the sounds of livestock to the excitement of judging and ribbons, this space brings agriculture to life for visitors of all ages.

​

Families can explore the barn, meet farm animals up close, and enjoy the petting zoo, one of the most loved stops on the fairgrounds. For some children, this is their first chance to interact with farm animals and learn where food and fiber come from.
