The Washington Foreign Press Center organized a tour to the State Fair of Virginia. There, about a dozen journalists from 6 countries experienced a slice of Americana and the state's vast agriculture industry. They had access to all of the events and were allowed to photograph everything from pig races to sheep shearing.
