FREMONT, Ohio – A severe thunderstorm – officials are still trying to determine if a tornado occurred – hit the Sandusky County Fairgrounds Friday afternoon, causing extensive damage and forcing Fremont Speedway to cancel racing for Saturday, July 2.

 

“We have buildings damaged, fencing torn out, power lines down. It’s a real mess,” said Roger Campbell of the Speedway Committee.

 

“We really appreciate everyone who offered to help clean up the facility but it will take a while to access all the damage and make a plan for repairs,” added Campbell.

The City of Fremont experienced many down trees and damage as well with power outages throughout the town.
