This Labor Day marks 20 years since the powerful and tragic wind storm that tore through the Fairgrounds in 1998, causing the death of two men on the grounds.
The resulting damage caused Director Pater Cappuccilli, Jr. to cancel the final day of the Fair. It has gone down in history as perhaps the worst day in State Fair history, certainly one that will be forever remembered by Fair fans.
State Fair Hound is hoping that the Fair will commemorate that day and the men who lost their lives with a moment of silence or words of remembrance.
Addendum: A moment of silence was held just before the National Anthem on Labor Day. Well done.
