Drive Through Fair Event
2020-06-07 11:00 - 20:00
We’ve all been longing for those fairs and festivals we have missed all Spring and, although we are not at the place where we can begin enjoying all that entails the fair atmosphere, A Taste of Summer will provide a sampling of those things to come.
Field Day of the Past and Deep Fried, Inc. have joined forces to present “A Taste of Summer”, a drive through fair food frenzy on the Field Day of the Past show grounds June 6 and 7 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. A portion of the proceeds from the fundraising event will go to the Field Day of the Past moving campaign.
Deep Fried will be on the Field Day show grounds selling corn dogs, fried oreos, funnel cakes, kettle corn and cool, soothing lemonade – all reminiscent of the fairs of our futures. Drive through the Field Day of the Past, Gate F, circle through the grounds until you get to the Deep Fried booth, place your order, pick it up and drive away knowing that you won’t be missing the fair experience forever.
We ask that anyone experiencing symptoms of the corona virus, please refrain from joining us and request that everyone wear a mask, as per the Goochland Health Dept. requirements. We also ask that you don’t stop to eat or visit while you are on the grounds
Directions: Take I-64, Exit #173, exit south towards Broad St. Rd. go 1/8 mile and turn left down Three Chopt Rd. (Rt. 622 beside Wise’s Choice). Proceed to Gate F, through the gate and follow the road towards the front of the field.
Field Day of the Past, sponsored by the Rockville-Centerville Steam & Gas Historical Association, has taken place for 28 years in its current location. After the 2020 show, the lease ends and the association must find a new home. Funds are needed to help find a new home and to maintain and move all the collections. The association is a (501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As such, all donations are tax deductible.

Field Day of the Past will celebrate the holiday traditions of giving and sharing as it once again
lights up the show grounds on Ashland Road in Centerville. Each year, volunteers deck the halls
and many of the permanent structures on the grounds in glittering, glimmering holiday attire.
Icicles drip from the Short Pump Garage and Short Pump Grocery, a huge star beams from the
fire tower. The gold mining equipment, the sorghum building, the smoke house and other
buildings twinkle and shine. Springfield Baptist Church stands in a soft glow and a lit tree hangs
from one of the water towers and candles blossom in the windows of the Pullman car.
“A Celebration of the Season” invites visitors to join in a family fun time celebrating the
holidays. Inside the Educational Building, a huge tree awaits some helping hands to decorate it.
Visitors are invited to the tour the grounds on the tram. A bonfire lights up the night, adding a
sparkle to the surroundings, and youngsters are invited to enjoy the warmth and roast
marshmallows over the fire.
In addition to the Educational Building, the Short Pump Grocery is open to visitors, as is the
Short Pump Garage, the log cabin, and Springfield Baptist Church. Avis and Dr. Jim Lavender
will be greeting visitors in the church, where Avis will be at the piano playing holiday favorites.
Stop in for some caroling!
Inside the Educational Building, hot dogs, drinks—both hot and cold—and chips can also be
purchased. Proceeds from the sale of these items will benefit Goochland Relay for Life. Please
support them!
We also have it on good word, that Santa will be appearing during the evening. Bring the kids (of
all ages) and visit with Santa to whisper you Christmas wishes in his ear. Afterwards, visit the
Field Day of the Past Post Office and put your wishes in writing. Letters will be mailed to the
Jolly Ole Elf, St. Nick, and Santa has been known to reply to all who write to him from Field
Day.
Admission to the event is canned goods for the Goochland Food Pantry. Last year, visitors
brought in 190 pounds of food stuffs. We hope to top this in 2019 so please support them with
your donations.
Join in the fun on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Field Day of the Past
showgrounds, located at 1741 Ashland Road in Goochland. Take I-64, exit #173 (Rockville-
Manakin), go approximately 1/8 of a mile and enter the grounds through the Wise Choice
Convenience Center on the corner of Rts. 623 (Ashland Rd.) and 622 (Three Chopt Rd.).
