Rainy Opening Day Dampens Fair Wonder at 7th Annual County Event
Heavy October rain and muddy grounds slow crowds on opening day of the 7th annual fair. Weather altitudes forecast more showers with cooler, overcast skies and strong northwest winds. Exhibits from Potomac Edison and Atwater Kent to local merchants endure the wet, while urban police and trolley schedules adapt to heavy traffic. Despite the soggy conditions, fairgoers explore booths from Hoot 4 Will to Winsun coffee, with notable livestock, horticultural, and hardware displays drawing steady interest.
