FROM HARDINCOUNTYFAIR.ORG__A week has passed since an EF-1 tornado struck the Hardin County Fairgrounds. Adjusters from both the CORSA Policy (held by the Hardin County Commissioners on the grounds, buildings, and infrastructure) and the Public Entity Pool of Ohio (PEP) have both been on site to conduct their assessments. Estimates are four to six weeks before those assessments are returned to the fair. Additional damage has also occurred to the Youth & Ag Center roof in last night’s winds. The board will continue to work through the weekend to clean up debris and stabilize structures.
