“Citizens attending tonight’s performance should allow extra time getting into the venue on Moss Avenue at the fairgrounds located between Bowling Green and Cresaptown,” Allegany County Department of Emergency Services Emergency Management Chief Steve Shipley said. “Traffic in and out will be single lane and with large crowds expected, traffic delays should be anticipated.”
Fair officials report that reserved seating is sold out for the 8 p.m. performance, but general admission is still available.
