After an extensive meeting between the Audubon County Fair Board and Audubon County Emergency Operation Center, officials today (Tuesday), decided it is in the best interest of the community to cancel the Figure 8 Races on the fairgrounds, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!

Factors in this decision, according to Audubon County Public Health, include large crowd sizes, increased cases of Covid-19 in surrounding communities, inability to social distance and lack of face mask usage.

Officials say “We regret any hardship or inconvenience that this has caused to anyone involved. We must consider our communities’ health and safety first.”
