There will be no street fair taking place in Erath, as the 83rd Fourth of July Celebration has been canceled.

Streets quiet in Erath; 83rd 4th of July Celebration not taking place

ERATH — This week would be when the street fair would be rolling through the streets of Erath in preparation for the 83rd Fourth of July Celebration. Instead, Erath’s streets will be empty this week because there will not be a Fourth of July Celebration because of the coronavirus.
A couple of months before the Fourth of July, the committee voted not to celebrate because of COVID-19. While there won’t be any street fair or parade this week, there still will be a partial celebration.
