The annual Hamilton County Fair scheduled for this weekend has been called off because of the weather, county Mayor Jim Coppinger said.
The county parks and recreation staff said parking lots are flooded, and the ground is so saturated from several inches of rain that holding the event would be a safety hazard.
The decision was made today to give vendors as much notice as possible, Coppinger said.
