(LaPorte, IN) - There will be a LaPorte County Fair this year as long as “Big Brother” doesn’t step in.

The fair board met last night.

 

The decision was to go ahead with the fair as long as President Trump or the governor doesn’t order it to be canceled.

 

Catherine Mrozinski is the surer of the La Porte County Agricultural Association, which is the governing body of the fair. She says all of the preparations are still being made to have the

fair scheduled July 12-18. Even if 4-H decides to pull out of the fair, she says the fair

will go on with Pioneerland, the usual entertainment and vendors unless government would order it shutdown.

 

She said 4-H is a separate organization whose members are guests always welcome to use the facilities at the fairgrounds. If the 4-H pulls out, she says it’s still up to the Ag Association to decide

whether to have the fair.

 

Purdue Extension is in charge of 4-H and officials with that organization Based in West Lafayette say a decision on whether 4-H will take part in fairs this year is scheduled May 15.
