Union County Fair Board planning to hold event again this July

The Union County Fair Board is taking an optimistic approach and scheduling a fair again this year in hopes we will be past the need for so much quarantining, social distancing and perhaps mask wearing.

They have set the dates as Tuesday, July 13, through Saturday, July 17.

Few details have been set but the board is scheduled to meet next month and plan more specifics.

The fair was scheduled this past year but due to the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic, Union County supervisors voted in May that it would be in the public interest to cancel the event.
