The fall festival season is nearly upon us and the National Weather Service indicates they are promoting services they can provide to organizers of these larger events.

Unfortunately, weather can sometimes interrupt these gatherings and Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln explains they can coordinate with event organizers for plans of action in the event severe weather may strike.

Shimon points organizers interested in the weather planning phase of their gatherings to visit weather.gov/lincoln.

Shimon notes with the County Fair season starting to wrap up and the Illinois State Fair kicking off this week, they have worked with some of those organizers and says the State Fair will keep them busy in the next ten days.
