Sassy Peacock Events LLP has been in contact and will be working with our Fayette County Free Fair Association Connersville IN to organize a location at EXPO HALL for a pickup and drop off for supplies/clothing once the main bridges and roads have been cleared and opened for travel. We anticipate that will not be till sometime tomorrow (Friday).

** Please watch our pages and this post for updates **

If you're willing to volunteer help private message one of us and we will reach out once we have a plan together.

** Please do not just show up until you hear from us as this had to be a well organized event for everyone's safety **
