LP County Fair Could Be in Jeopardy

(LaPorte, IN) - The La Porte County Fair this year could be jeopardy from the COVID-19 Virus.

 

County Councilman Terry Garner says there’s talk of major changes if it is held.  He says, "The fair could go from a 4-H fair to an open class fair and not having a fair not only would be a crying shame but a costly one, because of a major country music star is under contract to perform."

 

Garner says, "Toby Keith would still have to be paid, so having him perform Is a major incentive to go ahead with the fair under, perhaps, a different format."

 

County councilman Jeff Santana said he understands contracts, but blasted Keith if he insists on being paid if the fair is not held.

 

Council President, Randy Novak says they wouldn’t have to pay Toby Keith if the governor cancels the fair.
