2020 Iowa State Fair Canceled

Didn’t want to mucky the first post but it’s nice to see not everybody or everything has lost their mind. Trying to socially distance is simply just not possible, or at least feasible, at such a place.

i was hoping they’d cancel because the last thing we need is an outbreak right before kids are going back to school.
 
We are smjust going to have a massive protest at the fairgrounds instead. That way we won’t catch the Coronavirus. We are going to organize the massive protest at adventureland.

2020 Iowa State Fair Announcement
Today the Iowa State Fair Board made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Iowa State Fair until August 12-22, 2021 due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The decision was complex and involved a wide array of factors. The Iowa State Fair’s top priority is protecting the health and safety of Fairgoers, staff, volunteers, exhibitors and entertainers. Amid the pandemic, we couldn’t in good conscience put on the Fair knowing access to emergency safety services at the Fair could be limited, public transportation to and from the Fair would not be available, the constant sanitation of seemingly infinite high touch surfaces lacked feasibility, and social distancing in lines to get your favorite Fair food or walking the Grand Concourse would be difficult.

While we can’t predict how the COVID-19 pandemic will look in August, we had to make educated decisions based on the current information and guidance from health experts. Waiting any longer to make a decision would be potentially more damaging to our great Fair partners and our planning.

Not getting together this August at the Iowa State Fair will be disappointing. Our staff, volunteers, entertainers, vendors and sponsors love to come together to put on 11 fantastic days each summer. We know that the Fair isn’t just an event, it’s a way of life for many, including our friends in agriculture and our young exhibitors.

Thank you for your patience in allowing the Iowa State Fair Board, staff and partners the time we needed to thoroughly review our options for the 2020 Iowa State Fair. And thank you for your unwavering support. We can’t wait to get together again in 2021.

This really sucks for the people that live around the fair grounds and rely on the money they make parking cars in their yards.

It would suck to be a house the parks cars right outside the fair doors right now. I would say some of those families make enough during the fair to support them almost the entire year.

Tax free. Iowa did try to collect sales tax from them a few years ago

So I live a few blocks away from the entrance (I don't park cars because I like grass and not having strangers in my backyard). You would not BELIEVE how much money some of those houses on grand ave make. They will be hurting for sure.
