Fredericksburg Fairgrounds — Local services in Fredericksburg

I was going to ride the swings and I went to look fir my seat,every seat was full except for 1 row (the seats are in pairs of 3) i was with my boyfriend and so when we got ti the only open seats and seen they were zip tied so no one could get on we went to leave. The ride operator encountered us to get on the ride by cutting the zip ties off the swings I entered the swings trusting the ride operator that he would not want to put a rider in danger when I sat in the seat everything was fine I buckled my cloth seat belt that gise across ur wasit and then went to buckle the bar u lift up to get into the seat after doing that I felt a jolt go I ti my body then I felt like I couldent move,thankfully I have commen sence and realized I was being electrocuted and had my boyfriend take me out after I realized what was happening to me i started screaming "im being electrocuted" the ride operator remaind seated. After finally getting out i was shaking and cry8ng and went uo ti the ride operator and told him he just put me on a unsafe ride he stared at me and said nothing,there was another worker that was walking into the ride so I said ti him "u need to come this ride I was just electrocuted" he replied "I work here" and shuved past me. When I spoke to the fair manager all I was told is that he will be writern up. What if this were a...

Ok so we had fun BUT i have to say this was the most inefficient fair setup I've ever experienced. We had to wait in line for a general admission ticket to enter the fair. Then take literally 15 steps to wait AGAIN to give our ticket to someone else THEN we had to wait in line to to get wristbands that were for sale inside the actual fairgrounds. Like??? I don't understand the reasoning they should have just sold general admission tickers AND the wristbands/ride tickets at 1 station that was also just a way to get into the fair. Instead of having someone a couple steps away to let you in. ON TOP OF THAT the writbands had to be scanned after waiting in a crazy long line for rides and the poor workers scanners were extremely delayed in scanning so it took at least 3x longer for the ride to actually start that normal. What happened to paper wristbands that had different colors for each day or something?? They could literally just write the date on it if they were concerned about ppl reusing wristbands. I really hope they never operate like this again or i think we just wont go. Too much waiting around for no reason to enjoy a 1 minute long ride. And the food is more expensive than ever to boot.

Response from the owner doesn't even make...

Absolutely the worst fair I’ve ever been too. If there was an option to do 0 stars I would’ve. The entire fair staff was rude and disrespectful. We were in the last derby and they demanded we take our plates off our drivers door, which for people who don’t know is there for drivers safety, which my boyfriend had been in contact with the tech guy the whole time building and even in the rule book they were allowed. There were no drivers rules which were more unsafe then the drivers plate. And then when it was all done and over with they wouldn’t even help load any of the cars onto the trailers. Seeing as they wouldn’t help load the car I went to go get my car to help pull it onto the trailer in which they told me I wasn’t allowed. This whole place is a joke and definitely unsafe. Everyone fair/event staff was rude and disrespectful. Would love for someone to contact me my experience cause I...
