COVID shuts down fair

The 98th Annual South Mountain Fair, which had been scheduled for July 28 through August 1, has been canceled in light of the ongoing issues with the COVID-19 epidemic.

A statement issued by the organizers said, "It is with much sadness that the South Mountain Fair Board of Directors announces the cancellation of the 2020 South Mountain Fair. Please know that this decision was not taken lightly."

It was further stated that the decision was made out of COVID concerns, which included protecting the health and safety of the exhibitors, fair staff, department chairpersons, concessionaires, vendors, and visitors, and that "It has become clear to us that we would be unable to adhere to the CDC and state mandates of social distancing protocols at this time."
