I-81 to I-64 to West Virginia State Fairgrounds

Any comments/suggestions/warnings re: 2 alternative routes to the West Virginia State Fairgrounds in Fairlea?

1) I-64 to Exit 169, then south on US 219 (through Lewisburg) to the Fairgrounds entrance on (one-way) Maplewood Avenue.

2) I-64 to Exit 175, then west on US 60 to County Hwy 451 (Holt Street), then left/south to US 219 (becomes Maplewood Ave).

#2 appears to involve less "city driving" through Lewisburg and Fairlea, but it may also involve some "lesser" streets!???

Thanks in advance!
