All Quiet At The Mercer County Fairgrounds; No Fair In 2020

It should be Mercer County Fair week, but it’s not. The event was called off in late May due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.  A tough decision says Fair Board President Rex McWhorter.

 

This marks the third time the fair has been cancelled since 1853. No fair was held in 1862 because of the Civil War and the fair was scrapped in 1938 due to financial difficulties.
The next Mercer County Fair is July 13-17, 2021.
