Notice from the Cass County Fair:
(Atlantic) Due to the excessive heat warning and an abundance of caution the Cass County Fair Board and Staff are taking precautions by making changes to today’s fair schedule to ensure the safety of the exhibitors, animals, and community supporters. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we work to make the fair safe and enjoyable for all.
