An executive with the Iowa State Fair is encouraging Iowans to be vaccinated against COVID before they come to the Fair. State Fair CEO Gary Slater told KCCI getting your vaccination before the Fair in August, will help out with all scheduled events, and should give you some peace of mind.  Slater said the fairgrounds won’t be able to promise social distancing at all exhibits.

Last year’s Iowa State Fair was canceled due to the pandemic. Slater called the decision to cancel the event one of the hardest decisions and worst day he’s had to face. The 2021 Iowa State Fair is scheduled for Aug. 12 to Aug. 22.
