abc27 reported in November 2023 that Blair would resign at the end of 2023 to spend more time with family in Kentucky.

Fair attendance declined in recent years since it was moved from September to July, but Blair told abc27 that his resignation was unrelated to the attendance.

The York State Fair will run from July 19-28.
