Seems like the Troy Shrine Club’s Pike County Fair is going to get thumbs-up from the television weather newscast. But, a crow hanging on a fence post could change all that.

However, the Shriners are confident that there will be “good weather” for the 2024 Pike County Fair.

So, the forecast for Wednesday is warm and sunny with a breeze at the Pike County Fairgrounds.
