CANFIELD (WKBN) — The Canfield Fair Board posted an open letter to the community Tuesday regarding the future of alcohol service at the fairgrounds.

The board announced its plan in May to serve alcohol during this year’s fair after voters approved a ballot measure allowing the precinct to go from dry to wet.

In the board’s letter Tuesday, it stated full proof spirits, which include hard alcohol such as whiskey, bourbon and vodka, will not be permitted for sale.

“The Canfield Fair is not unique in addressing this issue, as many state and county fairs across Ohio and the country offer alcohol service in designated areas, including the Ohio State Fair. In addition, beer and alcoholic seltzer beverages have been sold in the Canfield Fair grandstand during entertainment events since 2019,” the board stated.

The board said any decisions regarding alcohol will continue to be made with careful consideration.
