ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. For the first time in the more than 100 year history of the Arapahoe County Fair, some fairgoers were turned away Saturday night due to a capacity crowd.
Citing larger-than-expected post-COVID crowds, the Arapahoe County Fair on Saturday had to close its gates at 8 p.m. to keep fairgoers safe and traffic clear on roads surrounding the facility. Those that were turned away were encouraged to come back on Sunday.
Fair organizers said this is the first time they’ve had to close because of large crowds.
