While the Weston County Fair will be centered on the theme, “A timeless tradition,” when it takes place later this summer, contestants won’t be able to register for their events in the traditional fashion and officials have also decided to move away from a tradition that has proven costly in recent years.
The 2017 Weston County Fair will take place in Newcastle from July 29 through August 6, and exhibitors will be asked to undertake a different process when signing up for their events— including the open class competitors.
“We have adopted new software, and all entries can now be made online,” Weston County Fairgrounds Manager Ellen McKenzie told the News Letter Journal.
