call the information hotline. Things get a little busy during the week
of the fair, so if you don't get an answer immediately, do some research
on our web site, email
us, you will get an answer somehow.

event is cancelled, the fair board makes hard efforts to call all local
radio, and TV stations to broadcast the cancellation of the event for
the night.
