A Message from the Carver County Fair Board
With the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation and restrictions as communicated by the MN Department of Health and the CDC on social distancing, masks, required sanitization along with the unknowns and timing yet to be communicated for mass gatherings we have determined that it is the right decision to postpone the 109th Carver County Fair until 2021.
It is with heavy hearts that we made this decision however our goal is never to diminish the Fair experience or compromise the health and safety of anyone, for any reason, ever. The Carver County Fair is all about bringing the community together in a welcoming, safe, educational, and enjoyable environment to create the experience you know and love. The current protocols put in place to protect people from COVID-19 are simply unrealistic for our organization to achieve. Additionally, it would be exceedingly difficult to conduct the Fair to the high standards that the board sets for itself each year given the unknown changes to the COVID-19 guidelines we may see over the summer.
We realize the impact of the Fair’s cancellation will be felt far beyond the loss of our annual event for our attendees, vendors, entertainers, exhibitors, amusement operators, sponsors and volunteers as many rely on the community, income and exposure that the Carver County Fair brings to them. We understand these impacts as we are feeling these same losses.
The Fair Board feels fortunate to continue supporting the 4H program in 2020 as they manage exhibits and judge virtually as defined by the State of Minnesota. All other non-fair events thru the end of August have been cancelled at this time.
We love our Fair and look forward to brighter, better days ahead when we can gather safely and continue to celebrate all that is great about Carver County! Thank you for your unwavering support and look forward to celebrating the Carver County Fair August 11–15, 2021!
