Tighter Restrictions at Fair Entrance Gates

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – The South Carolina State Fair is drawing quite the crowd.

Officials say they want to make sure you have a fun but safe time.

So, they’re implementing tighter restrictions at entrance gates.

Starting Wednesday night, everyone – under the age of 18 – must be accompanied by a parent who’s 21 or older to be admitted after 7pm.

You may be required to show a valid ID.

Officials also say they have a long-standing policy.

It allows them to refuse admission to individuals who are wearing clothing or accessories that are deemed “offensive” or “gang-related.”
