LEWISBURG, W.Va. - People attending the West Virginia State Fair next month can find help through a mobile app.
The app will allow fairgoers to schedule their day, purchase tickets, find their favorite locations on an interactive map and participate in a social media-based photo hunt for a chance to win a week pass to the 2017 fair.
State Fair CEO Kelly Collins says fairgoers can buy and scan tickets directly from their phones instead of waiting in line.
The app also includes frequently asked questions, news and State Fair branded photo features. It will be available Monday for free.
The fair runs Aug. 12 to 21.
