The Mississippi State Fair is extended. The Fair will reopen again on Thursday, October 22nd and remain open until Sunday. Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson said that the extension was created because of the impact of Hurricane Delta on the first weekend and the resulting low attendance. There will be ride specials, games, fair food, petting zoo and more. Plus as an addition, The Gaither Vocal Band will perform an outdoor concert on Saturday, October 24, at 6:00 p.m. The concert is free with fair admission.
