157th Bloomsburg Fair canceled due to historic flooding

[jeff of pa]

Though the anticipation for the 2011 fair has been high, the 157th Bloomsburg Fair has been canceled due to the recent flood devastation. This is the first time this historic fair has been canceled since 1855. Many people have been volunteering their time to help get the grounds back in shape for the event, but it looks like the fairgrounds still won’t be ready for this season.

BLOOMSBURG - An empty container from Joe's Homemade Pierogies. A half-eaten apple dumpling with cinnamon ice cream from Bissingers. The delicious aroma of Vince's Cheesesteaks.

If you didn't know any better, you would think the Bloomsburg Fair had never been canceled, but on Route 11, several businesses have opened their properties to vendors for a smaller version of the popular county fair, which was canceled because of extensive flood damage. People such as lifelong fair attendee Shawn McShea couldn't be more pleased.

"It's like paradise. The stars aligned," he jokingly said.
