Kanabec County Fair Press Release

6/2/20

It is with great disappointment and sadness that the Kanabec County Agriculture Board of Directors has decided that due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic  the 2020 Kanabec County Fair has been postponed until 2021.  After exhausting every other alternative, it has become apparent that it will be impossible to move forward with the 2020 Fair.  Based on the limited number of people who would be allowed to attend the Fair, and the required cleaning procedures an event such as you have come to expect from us would not be possible.

Please know that the entire board is saddened by this decision. We are committed to working with the Kanabec County 4-H to provide the best possible experience for 4-H members possible this year.

We appreciate your understanding and your continued support for the Kanabec County Fair.  Our 4-H members, exhibitors, volunteers, and fairgoers who attend are all important to the success of the Kanabec County Fair.  The unwavering partnership and support we receive from all of you enables the Board to offer the highest quality entertainment, competitions, and agriculture education possible.

We have already begun the planning process for 2021, with the intentions of hosting the best ever Kanabec County Fair yet!

Please watch our Facebook page (Kanabec County Fair) and Website (Kanabecfair.org)

 for additional information or  events this summer.

Be Safe, Be Healthy, and Be at the 2021 Kanabec County Fair!

There will be Virtual 4-H shows and judging  that will be occuring at the end of July for 4-H members.
  The Kanabec County Fair will be supporting those.
We are hoping to make improvements to the Grounds as well as the ongoing Maintenence and upkeep that is required to keep the Kanabec County Fairgrounds one of the most beautiful Fairgrounds in the State.  
Please watch the facbook page for ways that you can help by donating items that you might have laying around that will be needed for the projects  or monetary donations for these projects can be sent to Kanabec County Fair 2775 215th Ave Mora, MN 55051
