Judging by the line of people at the box office waiting to buy tickets to enter the 97th Southwest Florida Lee County Fair on pre-opening might, this could well be the best fair yet.
Sneak Peek Thursday attracted a larger number of people than ever to the Lee Civic Center, thanks to $1 admission and $1 rides. In year’s past, the fair offered $12 general admission.
To keep people safe, things were a little more spread out and rides were disinfected after every use. There will also be temperature checks at the gate, where people will walk in and if someone registers a temperature over 100.5 degrees, they will not be allowed in.

Last year, the Southwest Florida Lee County Fair beat the clock, closing just before the pandemic ground public events to a halt.
And while there was concern that there might not be a 97th version of the fair this year, it will go on after all, starting Thursday and running through Sunday, March 7, at the Lee Civic Center.
However, it won’t be like the fair attendees have seen in the past. Things will be much more spread out and the rides will be cleaned frequently to follow CDC guidelines and keep people safe.
