The Clay County Fair Association announced today that the 2020 edition of “The World’s Greatest Fair” will not be held and will be postponed to Sept. 11-19, 2021.

The decision, announced following a vote by the Fair Executive Committee was made amid concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. After weeks of exploring various options, it became clear that the fair could not protect the health and safety of fairgoers, staff, volunteers, 4-H/FFA youth, exhibitors, vendors, sponsors, and entertainers during the nine-day event.
