| Video: Fair Board President Announces Cancellation of 2020 Lewis County Fair May 06, 2020 11:00 a.m. Updated: 01:10 p.m. |
this morning that the 2020 edition of the fair, the 200th anniversary of the event, has been cancelled. Mr. Hanno said the difficult decision was made last evening after an unanimous vote by the 24 voting members of the Fair Board. The board based their decision in part on guidance from public health experts. "Based on this guidance and careful considerations, and the fact that our fair draws from so many different places, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel this year’s Lewis County Fair scheduled for July 21-25, 2020,” Mr. Hanno said. "We feel it is the socially correct thing to do to keep our patrons, volunteers and participants healthy and safe.” Plans are to hold the 200th edition of the fair July 20-24, 2021.
