Washington County Fair Cancelled

June 12, 2020 4:51 am

It’s now official;  there will be no Washington County Agricultural Fair in 2020.  The board made the decision Thursday.  In a post on its Facebook page, President Todd Richards said “This decision was not made lightly but considering the Covid-19 pandemic concerns and the safety of our many stakeholders we believe it is the right decision.”  Last week, the board  announced that it wanted more time to make its decision.  Both the Greene County and West Alexander fairs announced last week that they were cancelling for 2020.  The fair board did vote and approve a resolution to preserve the Junior Livestock Market Competition.  A committee will be formed and will immediately begin to work on a plan to conduct the competition during the fair dates of August 15 to 22nd.  Detailed competition plans will be announced as soon as they are complete.
