$ roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud VPL16_points.launch pcap:=/home/soowon/Documents/County_Fair.pcap

You probably forgot to set the rviz fixed frame to velodyne.

EDIT: You are not running the velodyne_pointcloud nodelet. That is the component that translates the raw packets into a point cloud.

You can use this launch script to view your PCAP data directly:

$ roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud VPL16_points.launch pcap:=/home/soowon/Documents/County_Fair.pcap

$ rosrun velodyne_driver velodyne_node _model:=VLP16 _pcap:=/home/soowon/Documents/County_Fair.pcap

$ rosrun velodyne_pointcloud cloud_node _calibration:=$(rospack find velodyne_poitncloud)/params/VLP16db.yaml

You can use this launch script to view your PCAP data directly:

$ roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud VPL16_points.launch pcap:=/home/soowon/Documents/County_Fair.pcap

If you want to do it as described above, above in your question, be sure to spell the model parameter correctly:

$ rosrun velodyne_driver velodyne_node _model:=VLP16 _pcap:=/home/soowon/Documents/County_Fair.pcap

Then, run the point cloud node:

$ rosrun velodyne_pointcloud cloud_node _calibration:=$(rospack find velodyne_poitncloud)/params/VLP16db.yaml
