HILLSDALE, MI (WTVB) – What has been billed as “The Most Popular Fair On Earth” has been cancelled for this fall.
After much deliberation and review of the current state and Centers for Disease Control guidelines and restrictions due to COVID-19, the Hillsdale County Fair Board of Directors met Thursday night and voted unanimously to cancel the 2020 Hillsdale County Fair in September.
Fair offcials say they are disappointed and wish that circumstances were different, but say in the end their greatest concern was with the health and wellbeing of our volunteers, exhibitors, as well as their patrons.
The fair board is recommending that 4H/FFA exhibitors be offered a virtual showcase as a means of completing their project work. Hillsdale County Extension and our office will be releasing details in the near future.
