County fair stalled by storm

Posted:

Fun was interrupted at the St. Joe County 4-H fair because of Mother Nature Sunday.

Leaders with the fair say they know just what to do if severe weather strikes.

Fair-goers were told about the incoming storm.

Folks could either leave and get a wristband to come back later or wait it out in buildings on the fairgrounds.

The rides were shut down and vendors packed up until the storm passed through.

"Basically it's for protection for the vendors, employees here, and also everybody who comes to the fair." says fair board director, Ray Wolfenbarger.

The weather wasn't enough to cancel the fireworks show scheduled for dusk Sunday evening.

Events continue through July 7.  For a list of events going at the fair, check out the program book.
