The Keokuk County Fair in What Cheer is coming up this weekend.  The No Coast Network asked Keokuk County Fair Board member Gene Roland if people are happy the fair is taking place….in light of the Iowa State Fair being cancelled this year.

“I think it’s pretty much mixed.  Some people are glad we’re having it and some people want to stay home and stay safe.  So it’s a mixed bag.”

While the Fair begins in full on Friday (7/10), there is a fair event Thursday night (7/9) at 7 with The Boys performing at the What Cheer Opera House.  Admission is by free will offering.
