Elkhart 4-H County Fair Prepares for Warm Weather

Posted:

It's going to be hot and dry at one of the biggest fairs in the state - the Elkhart County 4-H Fair.

It kicks off Friday.

Already - the fair is asking people to make sure they're drinking plenty of liquids.

For those who need a little more to cool off they'll have misting stations ready to go.

Some might also seek a little relief in one of the air conditioned buildings.

Fair Board President Jack Lengacher said,"Just be alert to the signs of overheating. If you start feeling cold or clammy or nauseous to your stomach then it's time to find a cool shade."

Visitors won't be the only ones roasting in the heat.

Precautions are being taken to protect the livestock.

Fans will run continuously in the barns and kids will be encouraged to make sure there animals get plenty of water.
