WEST FARGO, ND (KFGO) – The Red River Valley Fair Executive Board of Directors has voted to cancel the 2020 Red River Valley Fair following the recommendation of the North Dakota Department of Health.
“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the North Dakota Department of Health is recommending the board of directors cancel the Red River Valley Fair scheduled for July 7-12. We believe this will reduce the spread of COVID-19 and allow the Red River Valley Fair to plan and implement strategies for combating COVID-19 in the coming year” State Health Officer Mylynn Tufte said.
The Fair was scheduled to be held from July 7 -12.
“We are following the North Dakota Department of Health’s recommendation and while this decision was difficult, we are looking forward to greater days for the 40th anniversary of the Big Iron Farm Show, which is September 15-17 and we will begin planning for the 2021 Fair” Red River Valley Fair General Manager Cody Cashman said. “We appreciate everyone’s support and patience as we recognize we are in the midst of an unprecedented situation for everyone involved in the Red River Valley Fair.”
