Hamilton County Fair canceled due to flooding

HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) – The annual Hamilton County Fair set for this weekend has been canceled.

The county made the announcement around noon Thursday.

Officials say the parking areas are flooded and the ground is too wet to hold the 2018 Fair.

Due to flooded parking areas and saturated grounds we are with great regret canceling the 2018 Hamilton County Fair.

We hope you will join us next year for the 30th anniversary of the Hamilton County Fair. pic.twitter.com/xn1rTcSXQk
