PRINCETON -The 2020 Bureau County Fair has been cancelled. The announcement was made Friday morning that the Fair Board came to the decision in response to the pandemic and to ensure the health and well-being of the community. The previously scheduled Martina McBride concert has been rescheduled for Thursday, August 26th of 2021 and tickets previously purchased will be honored for the rescheduled concert.
“The Fair Board and I have spent many hours and resources to ensure that the 2020 Bureau County Fair would be the high quality fair our communities have come to expect. However, the safety and health of our volunteers and fairgoers is our top priority” said Fair Board President, Kyle Burrows.
The cancellation includes all fair events, including the Bureau County Fair Queen Pageants. All other non-fair events scheduled at the fairgrounds have been canceled or postponed, until it is deemed safe to host large gatherings. This is only the second time in the 165 year history of the Fair that it has cancelled, which only happened in 1862 for the Civil War
“We anticipate many changes ahead, but we are looking forward to working together with our community to ensure the 166th annual Bureau County Fair will be the best yet. We look forward to better days again when we can gather again and celebrate all that is exceptional about Bureau County. Until then, stay safe, be well, and support each other. We will miss you. Thank you again for your continued support.” said Burrows.
