Shelby County Junior Fair Schedule
It has come to our attention that some families believe all fair events have been cancelled for 2020, including those that include youth exhibitors. This is not accurate. While the rides, midway, entertainment acts and other parts of the fair will not be held this year, we are still deep in the midst of planning for the 2020 Junior Fair. At this point in time, the Junior Fair Board has full intention of holding almost all of the 4-H and FFA events, including all pre-fair judging events and livestock shows. They have also confirmed that the Livestock Sale Committee intends to hold a modified premium livestock sale for market exhibitors and is also still securing block buyers for all market species except poultry and hogs.
The Junior Fair Board is working to coordinate the schedule and judging/show formats with the Senior Fair Board, Sheriff’s Department and Health Department. This is not an easy task and requires many entities to come to a consensus on what is best for the entire community, all while state-level regulations change almost daily. We intend to have specific and concrete details available to families after the next Senior Fair Board, which will be held Wednesday, June 17.
