As the Delaware State Fair gets underway the weather is expected to be hot.
Thousands are expected to attend the event with no rain in sight and highs at least into the upper 80’s.
The fair will feature the traditional agricultural exhibits along with Volunteer Firefighters’ Professional Rodeo Round Up.
In addition there will be musical entertainment that includes Meghan Trainor, Bryan Adams, Josh Turner and New Kids on the Block.
Avian Flu
But there is one worry, the Avian flu.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that officials will not allow any ducks or geese in the poultry exhibits.
Other birds such as chickens pheasant, turkeys and quail will be allowed as usual.
The absence of waterfowl means there will be 81 less ribbons this year in the poultry category.
