Murray, Tenn.–Calloway County Fair Board members met with Sheriff Nicky Knight Wednesday in regards to discontinuing parties at their facility.
The meeting was initiated by the Calloway Fair Board, after learning of the felony arrests of three individuals from Tennessee overnight Saturday who were all in town related to an event at the Calloway County Fairgrounds.
The Sheriff and Calloway Fair Board agreed on their commitment to the safety of the community. The two also acknowledged that the Calloway Fair Board is a non-profit organization and any potential discontinuation of rentals could cause a financial hardship.
The Calloway Fair Board has agreed to more strictly limit the venues in which they will rent their facilities.
“I think this is a step in the right direction for the safety of Calloway County residents and local first responders,” said Sheriff Knight.
