Officials for the Kewaunee County Fair and Door County Fair are moving forward with their events in 2021 after canceling them in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns. Fifty-three county fairs were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic and nine others were not open to the public. Kewaunee County Fair Secretary Isabella Haen says she has been in contact with officials from the 13 fairs that were able to hold events in 2020. They have said their efforts went above and beyond were actually needed and have extra supplies as a result. Haen says the fact that smaller local shows like the Kewaunee County Futurity were able to be held gives her confidence they can develop a plan that could work.
The Door County Fair is also planning for an in-person event to celebrate their 150th anniversary, but have contingency plans and safety protocols developed just in case. Haen says the Kewaunee County Fair will announce their entertainment in the coming weeks while the Door County Fair will have already booked a number of acts including the BoDeans.
The Kewaunee County Fair is scheduled for July 8th-11th while the Door County Fair is set to take place July 28th-August 1st.
