Steele County Free Fair ‘Muffles’ Noise Rumor Heard Friday Night
Rumor has it that there was a loud noise at the Steele County Free Fair last night around 9:30. The fair sensing that it's best to get out in front of the swirling rumors about what caused the noise posted about it around 9:30 last night to their social media page. The Steele County Free Fair reassured those coming out to the fair that the loud noise that was heard was a car engine backfiring and nothing more, contrary to what others were saying online.
"Rumor Control: The loud noise you heard was the backfire of an engine." - Steele County Free Fair
The simple, yet effective message made it clear that there was nothing to fear, or nothing more sinister happening on a Friday night at the fair.
There was however a letdown for fans of Craig Morgan. Due to the weather, the concert was canceled around 8:20 with heavy rain, and strong winds expected to make their way through Steele County.
