Here is another point of view from Wednesday night’s storm that blasted through the Boonville-Oneida County Fair.
Although it’s not included with this clip, several fairgoers and officials are talking about a lightning strike that occurred during the storm. There is no official confirmation yet of a lightning bolt that struck somewhere on the grounds, but officials from the fair office said if it didn’t hit the grounds, it was “mighty close.”
In terms of wind damage, the fair office says a few easy-up tents were tossed around, but no other major damage or injuries have been reported as of Thursday morning.
The fair is scheduled to go on today as usual! For a complete list of events, visit the fair brochure: https://flackbroadcasting.com/news/brochure-for-136th-annual-boonville-oneida-county-fair

Carl Trainor and his HO-scale model carnival display at the 135th annual Boonville Oneida County Fair! Located inside of the Exhibit Hall, this is the 30th-year Mr. Trainor, who has been a local fair advocate since childhood, has displayed his collection. The display itself resembles much like the 2023 fair, but with most equipment resembling the 1950’s and 1960’s era.
What a way to finish off the grand opening of the 135th annual Boonville Oneida County Fair!
