FAIR OPENING DELAYED TO FRIDAY

Opening day of the Northeast Florida Fair will be delayed by one day due to the weather. Opening night is now Friday.
With more than 10 inches of rain over the past few days, NEFL Fair President Keith Wingate shared the decision Wednesday morning.
Hildebrand Amusement Rides brings the carnival to the fair each year and has steadily been setting up despite the weather, but is not able to bring all of its equipment in or set all of the rides up fully due to the rain.
“We have agreed that due to inclement weather we are not going to open until Friday,” Wingate said.
The fair trustees will make a decision soon on whether the livestock events will continue as scheduled or if times will alter.
