The Salem Fair opens July 3, runs through July 13Posted Jun24, 2008 at 08:52 AM The 21st annual Salem Fair will open Thursday, July 3 at 4 p.m., and carnival riders can buy a $10 pass for all night before 6 p.m. The fair will run through Sunday, July 13, opening at 4 p.m. on July 3 and 11, and at noon every other day. The fairgrounds will be open until 11 p.m., with other attractions closing earlier. While there won’t be any more fireworks due to recent business development on land below Elizabeth Campus, everything else should all but make up for it. The Navy Fleet Forces Bands Four Star Edition will also be playing on the free stage July 7, 8, and 9—performing nightly at 7 and 8:30 p.m. As well as daily attractions like the USA Basketball Red, White, and Blue tour, Pirates of the Colombian Caribbean Aerial Highwire show, and Elephant Encounter, an opportunity for fame will grace the Salem Civic Center grounds. WDBJ7 is offering fairgoers a chance to tape a 3 minute audition for the popular CBS reality show, Survivor, on July 9 from 5 to 8 p.m. Who knows? A Roanoke Valley resident may be the next "Cao Boi Bui" (Christiansburg native, 2006 season.) Above: The Elephant Encounter troupe performs a trick called "the elephant leg lift."
