Permit Problems May Cancel Fair
Organizers of the San Fernando Valley Fair said Monday they may cancel this year’s event, citing permit restrictions imposed by the Army Corps of Engineers that would ban alcohol sales and limit hours of operation.
The 55th annual fair was scheduled to run June 7-10 at Hansen Dam Recreation Center, which the corps owns.
Katie Parks, an outdoor recreation planner for the corps, said a decision would be made by Wednesday about possibly lifting the restrictions.
If not, fair general manager Dan Jacobs said he would recommend to event directors that the fair be canceled.
