The Marquette County Fair has been canceled for this August.
The announcement was made by the Fair Board on Facebook Tuesday night. The board cited financial and sponsorship considerations, as well as ongoing concerns about the coronavirus.
The announcement below:
It is with heavy hearts that the Marquette County Fair Board decided to cancel the 2020 fair. We waited as long as we could to make a final decision, but feel it’s in the best interest for the safety of our volunteers, vendors, youth and adult exhibitors and patrons that we cancel for this year.
It was an emotional decision because we all love the Fair as much as you do. Since we are a non-profit organization we rely on sponsorships from many businesses and realize many of them are struggling too, and don’t want to be a further burden to them. We are hope to find a way to help the youth that have been raising livestock to sell at the fair.
Watch for announcements on the website and Facebook.
Since the grounds will be mostly empty for the summer it will give us an opportunity to do some freshening up of some well used areas, including the bathrooms and information booth. We look forward to welcoming you all back August 12, 13, 14 of 2021.
