The Jennings County fair will have rides on the midway tomorrow.

The fair board is reporting that the vendor originally scheduled to provide rides for the fair backed out last week and then had their rides repossessed while they sat on the Jennings County lot. The fair board scrambled to find a replacement and is now going to be using a company out of Alabama, says Beth Stiener, the fair board secretary.

Stiener said that the state of Indiana is also scrambling to get the fair rides inspected and operating before tomorrow night’s fair. She praised the state for moving quickly to get the rides up and running, as it normally takes 60 days to get an inspection an approval.

In another setback, the racing that was originally scheduled for tonight at the Jennings County Fair will instead be held in Bartholomew County. She said organizers opted for a last-minute change to come to Columbus instead.

Stiener said that the fair will have bounce houses and laser tag tonight to entertain fairgoers.
