Vendors Can Sell Food Despite State Fair’s Cancelation

The State Fair of West Virginia may be canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the food isn’t. The State Fair said in a news release it will allow vendors to sell their food on the state fairgrounds in Fairlea every Thursday through Sunday. The fair will decide weekly which food stands will be open. Health and safety protocols will be in place. The fair was scheduled for August but was canceled last month for the first time since World War II due to a virus flareup linked to a church in Greenbrier County.
