A big wind blew through Mercer and adjoining counties early Wednesday evening, shutting down the Mercer County Fair for approximately 45 minutes.
There were no injuries or damage at the fairgrounds, fair secretary Jackie Lacy said this morning.
"The sheriff's department contacted us and asked us to shut the fair down because of a tornado watch that had been issued by the National Weather Service. We had some wind and asked people to go inside buildings, but it didn't last long," Lacy said. [More]
