The Freeborn County Fair Board last week added an additional smoke-free day to the annual festival dubbed “Six Greatest Days of Summer.”

Freeborn County Partners in Prevention on Feb. 19 requested the Fair Board make Senior Day a smoke-free day, and the board approved. Kids Day last year was smoke-free. Smokers could smoke only in designated smoking areas.

Kids Day is the Saturday of fair week, while Senior Day is Wednesday. The designated smoking areas for the 2013 Freeborn County Fair will be behind the Rib Rack and in the fenced area of the beer garden.

That leaves Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday as days people can smoke in any outdoor areas of the Freeborn County Fair.

Alice Englin of Freeborn County Partners in Prevention said the agency continues to work toward policy, systems and environmental changes to prevent and reduce Freeborn County youth alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use and prescription drug misuse.
