With temperatures nearing 100 degrees this week, fairgoers and animals alike will be looking for ways to beat the heat at Adams County FairFest.
Sandy Himmelberg, general manager of the Adams County Fairgrounds, fears the high temps may affect this year’s attendance.
“If it’s going to be really hot, most people don’t come out during the day,” Himmelberg said. “They come watch evening concerts and leave.”
This week is expected to bring highs of 95 today, 96 on Thursday, 97 on Friday, 99 on Saturday and Sunday, and 98 on Monday, according to Shawn Rossi, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Hastings.
