GREEN COVE SPRINGS - Sometimes a good thing is too good. But the Clothes Closet and Food Pantry didn't complain.

Tuesday's Our Fair Cares promotion collected so many canned goods and non-perishables for the nonprofit based in Orange Park that volunteers wondered how they were going to transport them back to their headquarters on Fromhart Street.

Several bins overflowing with donations collected at Clay County Winn-Dixie stores at the front gates, and more donations were already tucked away in a warehouse on the fairgrounds property. t

Our Fair Cares was a success for other beneficiaries. Both Clay County Animal Services and Clay County Education Foundation reported a significant increase in collections, a testament to the event's positive impact.

Megastar Bret Michaels performed at the Cattlemen's Arena on Tuesday night. His high-energy setlist included "Every Rose Has a Thorn."

The seven-day concert series concludes Wednesday with a 2 p.m. show by the Oak Ridge Boys in the Cattlemen's Arena. The Fair opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m.
