A State Fair of Virginia survey shows that the event attracted an older crowd at its new location this year.

State Fair President Curry Roberts shared some of results of the survey this week at a meeting of the Caroline County Board of Supervisors. The questionnaire was given at random to some of the 248,000 who attended the 11-day fair in Caroline this fall.

Roberts said the results show an increase in fairgoers ages 45 and older, and a decrease in those 12 to 17. He did not give percentages on the age breakdown.

The major concerns were traffic and parking, which Roberts said will be a priority for improvement next year.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
