ST. CROIX COUNTY FAIR MAKES DECISION TO “POSTPONE” 2020 FAIR
ST. CROIX COUNTY FAIR MAKES DECISION TO “POSTPONE” 2020 FAIR
For the last few months, the St. Croix County Fair Association has been monitoring the Covid-19 situation as we continued to stay positive to plan and prepare for the 110th St. Croix County Fair. With concern for the safety and health of the community, the general public, our vendors, carnival workers, and service groups as well as our
exhibitors, volunteers, Fair staff and all other participants, it is with great sadness that the Fair Association Board made the very difficult decision to “postpone” the July 15-19, 2020 St. Croix County Fair until July 14-18, 2021. Due to the evolving Covid-19 pandemic and the continued uncertainty for social gatherings, as well as the financial implications, the board considered all the risks to our exhibitors, their families, our volunteers and most importantly the public, in making this decision.
Our fair traditions and our youth are very important to us, but nothing is more important than the health and safety of every person that may join us at the St. Croix County Fair. That is our number one priority.
While we strive to provide an entertaining and educational event for people of all ages, we must do so in a safe and secure environment. In communication with our county officials, and others in the fair industry, along with current guidelines and recommendations for mass gatherings, we feel that due to the uncertainty of the Covid situation at this time, it would be in our best interest not to host the 2020 St. Croix County Fair as planned July 15-19.
On behalf of the entire St. Croix County Fair Association, please know that the decision to “postpone” the fair was not taken lightly. We understand how disappointing this may be, and we feel it too! Nevertheless, we are staying positive as we look ahead to 2021, July 14-18. We will continue to plan and prepare to come together once again for our summer tradition and annual celebration of agriculture, education, and entertainment at our Great Community Get Together… the St. Croix County Fair.
Until then, stay safe, be well, and support each other. We will miss you!!
#FairStrong!
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
