Photos: The 2015 State Fair of Virginia

This year's State Fair offers more than 50 food and beverage stands, including Porky's: home of the pork parfait and more.

Chris Batton, who works the game booths, has been in the industry for 24 years.

The Viper is one of the midway's most exciting rides, spinning up to 24 guests at a time. At night, it illuminates the area with 2,000 lights.

Not to get too corny, but this year's fair spotlight's the state's agriculture with multiple competitions including those for corn, peanuts, hay, fruit and tobacco.

"Hey, take a picture of these ping pong balls!" Dalton Hayes yells from his booth. It's the Mechanicsville resident's first year working at the fair and he couldn't be more excited about it.
