Changes in store for the Cass County Fair

Ag/Outdoor, News

June 27th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

Earlier this month, it was announced that the Cass County Fair Board had decided to cancel all non- 4H and FFA activities for the 2020 Cass County Fair. At that time, officials said all youth activities would be held in a “Show and Go,” or other, modified format. Now, officials have indicated livestock shows will be live streamed whenever possible, and will also be archived online for later viewing. All judging results will be shared as soon as available via website, social media and with local print and radio media.

To maintain the health and safety of our exhibitors, staff and volunteers, the Cass County Fairboard respectfully asks that only members of the exhibitors’ immediate family (those living in the same household) be present in person for any live shows. Only shows/judging held outdoors will allow any spectators. All spectators are asked to maintain at least 6 foot distance from other households, follow hand-washing and sanitizing procedures in common areas, and bring their own seating, as bleacher space will be extremely limited or unavailable. All exhibitors and spectators must be off the grounds by one hour after the last show of the night to allow for cleaning of show areas.

The FFA Food stand will be open limited hours, with a limited menu, during livestock show days. Additional details coming soon. As no other food will be available on grounds, exhibitors may bring their own food, but large coolers and multi-family picnics and potlucks are strongly discouraged. The Cass County Fair continues to be an alcohol-free fair.
