Cecil County Fair kicks off

FAIR HILL — As the end of July approaches, the Cecil County Fair returns for its 71st season, bringing events, rides, good eats and fun back to the county for what has become a summer staple for many.

Workers were working hard to cap off weeks of preparation Thursday evening to get the Fairgrounds ready for the season, according to Don Moore, president of the Cecil County Fair Board of Directors.

The Fair kicks off Friday afternoon, with the Midway opening at 5 p.m.

Parking for the Cecil County Fair is free. Watch for signs directing traffic to that area where shuttles will transport you to the fair admission gates.
