Nearly 150 people who attended the fair and walked by a hot tub display were sickened, the state's Department of Health and Human Services said.
The fair took place between Sept. 6 and 15, and state health officials said the majority of people who got sick walked by hot tubs at the Davis Event Center during the second half of the fair.
One sample from the women's restroom at the Davis Event Center did test positive for Legionella pneumophila, but scientists determined the strain was genetically different than the strain collected from patients.
