Based on directives from various committees and policies, the fair board would like to present the following information:
“Drew County Fair for 2020 will be held during the week of September 14-19.
We will be moving to this date for this year due to our concerns for our participants and the community of Drew County.
We will update you as information is confirmed.
Currently we know that the pageants and talent show will be done virtually.
We will host a livestock and poultry show in person.
Dates for poultry testing will be released when confirmed.
We will give an update on HOEC exhibits and educational exhibits when confirmed as well.
Due to guidelines set forth by their board, we will not be able to host a carnival company this year.
In addition to social distancing guidelines, the parade is canceled as well.
We as a board are determined to continue the tradition of a county fair even during this pandemic.
