Fair Security Prepared for Huge Lainey Wilson Crowd

(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are bracing for tonight’s Jordan Davis concert and the Lainey Wilson concert Wednesday at the fair.

 

Tonight's concert is nearly a sellout while Wilson will perform before a sold-out crowd.

 

Deputies with the La Porte Sheriff’s Office provide security annually during the fair.

 

Sheriff Ron Heeg noted that he doesn’t expect anything real major to occur but large crowds pose more of a security challenge.

 

“I think the Lainey Wilson concert alone is going to draw 7,000 plus people.  That’s the size of a small city and that’s not including all of the other fairgoers that are going to be out there."

 

Both concerts are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. 

 

If you want tickets to see Wilson, they’re available on websites like StubHub, where they're currently ranging from $73 to $260 apiece.
