Time is running out for the Lee County fair, as the North Fort Myers property it sits on is up for new management or even redevelopment.
The county is exploring its options on what to do with the Lee Civic Center and the surrounding property, but that doesn’t mean dramatic change is on the way anytime soon.
The Southwest Florida Lee County Fair is celebrating its 97th year and its 41st at the property at SR-31 and Bayshore Road.
The fair’s operation chair fears once the contract expires in October, the Civic Center could turn into a hotel or resort.
