(St. Francois County, MO.) Officials with the St. Francois County Fair Board are announcing the cancellation of the county's premier family event. The group placed a statement on their facebook page saying after careful consideration, the St Francois County Fair Board has decided to cancel the 2020 Fair. This is very disappointing for many of us, but due to the COVID-19 situation, ever-changing circumstances, and recommendations, it is the safest decision for our community. Many other local events have already been canceled. State 4-H and FFA events are also currently limited. We look forward to having the June 2021 Fair, but we hope to have other events later in the year to celebrate as a community and under better conditions. Members of the board then go on to thank First Responders, Health Care Workers, Community Organizations, Volunteers, Sponsors and patrons who continue to support the community and the Fair. You're advised to keep an eye on the St. Francois County Fair Board's facebook page for future events and also listen to KFMO B104 News for updates.
