Nearly five years after an electrical fire damaged their main office, officials at the Bedford County Fairgrounds on Monday celebrated the opening of their new fair office.

Local leaders and community members attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday afternoon.

The new building is dedicated to and named after John H. Holbert, whom officials say was instrumental in bringing agriculture to the Bedford County Fair while working for Penn State.

Officials say the new fair office comes just in time for the Bedford County Fair's 150th year.
