LaPorte County Fair officials released a statement Friday saying country singer Morgan Wallen's use of a racial slur, which was captured on video, is "inappropriate and disappointing and goes against our commitment to being an inclusive organization."

According to the statement, which you can read below, the concert is still scheduled.

Over the past week, the LaPorte County Fair Board has received questions regarding Morgan Wallen, his use of a racial slur, and whether his concert at the Fair would still happen. First and foremost, the Fair Board does not condone racism or discrimination in any form. What he did was inappropriate and disappointing and goes against our commitment to being an inclusive organization. Currently, the July 14th concert is still scheduled. In the meantime, the Fair Board is reviewing its options with respect to the scheduled performance and will provide further updates when they become available.
