With the future of the event in mind, Kewaunee County Fair Secretary Isabella Haen says canceling was the best option. Hosting a carnival, four days of live music, and grandstand events like the planned monster truck show all carry big price tags and down payments in advance. Haen says health and social distancing concerns moving forward made it hard to encourage local businesses to sponsor the event and people to attend. She says those losses would have added up.
Haen says other options are being explored for potential exhibitors including virtual events or showing at other area county fairs. She thanks people for being positive at a time like this as they plan for the 2021 Kewaunee County Fair next July.
