Hill City Scene: Summer's not over just because school is back

Halfway through August and the kids are back in school. It's hard to believe "summer" is officially gone. But fear not! Just because school is in session doesn't mean that there's nothing happening this weekend.

It's never too late in the year for a county fair; just ask Amherst County. It started Thursday night and lasts throught the weekend. Head over to Sweet Briar Drive and enjoy the Amherst County Fair. This four-day event includes rides, agriculture competitions, magic shows and plenty more! Friday night will feature fireworks, and if there isn't funnel cake somewhere, you should demand a refund. Thursday and Sunday nights will cost $3 a person, while Friday and Saturday night tickets are $5 each.
