LUZERNE COUNTY, Pa. — The annual Luzerne County Fair kicked off Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, the evening's rain got in the way of the fun.
The fairgrounds along Route 118 near Dallas opened at 4 p.m.
But just before 7 p.m. mother nature had other plans.
Rain and lightning came through the Back Mountain.
Rides had to be grounded temporarily.
But don't worry, the fair highlighting food, fun, and agriculture continues Thursday through Sunday in Luzerne county.
And Thursday you can even catch Chief Meteorologist Kurt Aaron live at the fair during the early evening editions of Newswatch 16.
