On May 14, the Johnson County Fair Association announced that it will cancel grounds and grandstand entertainment for the 2020 Johnson County Fair.
“After consulting with Johnson County Public Health, Johnson County Emergency Management, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and fair board members, it was determined this was the best decision due to the uncertainty of what the public health situation may look like at the end of July,” Johnson County Fair Board President Charlie Isaacs said. “We want nothing more than to have a fair, however, volunteers, visitors, youth of Johnson County and staff health and safety are our main concern.”
The association is working with the Iowa State University Extension to find a way to still provide opportunities for 4-H and FFA members to showcase their talents and accomplishments.
“In a time of unknown, we are working through unchartered territory and staff and volunteers are working hard to offer an educational opportunity for our youth this summer,” said Kate Yoder, county youth coordinator for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Johnson County.
“Youth are dedicated to their exhibits and I am dedicated to ensuring our youth have an educational showcase opportunity this summer.”
