@nbcwashington: The Great American State Fair is closed until 5 p.m. today because of the extreme heat, officials said. “The safety and well-being of our guests, volunteers, performers, vendors, and staff is our highest priority,” a Freedom 250 spokesperson said. “Conditions are expected to improve later this afternoon, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back at 5:00 p.m. as preparations continue for this evening’s festivities.” #DMVtiktok#DCtiktok#greatamericanstatefair#washingtondc#districtofcolumbia#america250
