Officials with the Pottawattamie County Fair Board said today (Thursday), “With heavy hearts and much discussion, the Pottawattamie County Fairboard has made the decision to postpone all non-4-H/FFA contests and events for the 2020 Pottawattamie County Fair in Avoca. There will be no ATV/Snowmobile races, Mud Races, Tractor pull, or open class events at this year’s Pottawattamie County Fair.”

They said also, “This was a tough decision to make, but the health and welfare of our community comes first. Our youth will be able to exhibit the work they have done on their projects with
a different format. We will be live streaming the livestock shows and posting pictures and results of all the youth contests on our website and Facebook pages.

We thank you for your support and understanding and hope to get back to the type of fair we all love in 2021.”
