"I think it is very com- mendable that people supported the Fair the way they did, despite the weather conditions, and I mean everyone, the visitors and all those who are associated in any way with the Fair," he said. The only event that had to be cancelled because of the weather was the horse jumping competition, to prevent the possibility of serious injury to the horses.
