Lorain County Fair regretfully informs you that, due to the storms, flooding, closed roads, and damage, the fair is closed today, Thursday, August 24. All events scheduled for today have been cancelled, including the Junior Fair auction. We will post an update as to when it will be rescheduled as soon as we can. Those who have livestock or animals, or vendors needing to check their exhibit, will be permitted to go on the fairgrounds to take care of it. We will post updates throughout the day as decisions are made.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Sammy Kershaw is unable to perform with Roots and Boots on Tuesday, August 22, as he is on strict doctor’s orders for complete rest. Fortunately, Sammy is expected to make a full recovery. We apologize for this inconvenience.
