The Cape Fear Fair and Expo opened Thursday, but officials with the fair have decided to close the gates Saturday.
The Cape Fear Fair and Expo will be closed this Saturday due to weather conditions expected from Hurricane Sandy.
“It’s all about safety,” Cape Fear Fair and Expo Spokesman Eric Azor said.
With a tropical storm watch in place for New Hanover County, Azor said the weather will close the fair Saturday and possibly Sunday.
A skeleton staff will be there to ensure the fairgrounds stay intact during the storm.
