[canceled] 2020 Dodge County Fair
August 19, 2020 - August 23, 2020
It is with deep concern for the health and safety of our Dodge County Fair Community that the Dodge County Fair Board announces the cancellation of the 2020 Dodge County Fair, which was to be held August 19 – 23, 2020. We have been communicating with county officials, health officials, staff from Extension Dodge County- UW-Madison, fair volunteers, vendors, the Wisconsin Association of Fairs, and others in the fair industry as we have discussed options given the COVID-19 health crisis. The health and safety of all people associated with every aspect of our fair is our top priority. Please know that this cancellation has been the most difficult decision our fair board has ever faced. We thank you for understanding.
“Our hearts are heavy knowing we cannot gather for our annual event as we have during the past 132 years,” says Doug Ninmann, President of the Dodge County Fair, “but now and always, the health and safety of all involved is paramount.”
While we are saddened to make this decision, we look forward to brighter days ahead and are excited to begin planning for the 2021 Dodge County Fair. The Fair is scheduled to return in its entirety August 18 – 22, 2021, where we will gather again to celebrate all that is special and unique to Dodge County. Until then, stay safe, be well, and support each other. 2020 Dodge County Fair Cancelled due to COVID Health Concerns
Will the fair and racing at the fair grounds be cancelled this yr?
Thank you for asking… A few events have been canceled this Spring but at this point, as cases of COVID-19 decrease, we hope to hold events throughout the Summer with safety measures in place. Please watch for announcements on our website, follow us on social media, or subscribe to our email newsletter as plans are made. Please continue asking questions here and we will do our best to give updates. Thank you!
I’m interested to know if the Dodge County Fair exhibitor books will come out soon?
If you are asking about the Open Class Exhibit Book, we hope to have it ready early July … Only a few minor changes are made each year, if you would like to start working on your projects now please use the prior year for reference, available on our website https://dodgecountyfairgrounds.com/dodge-county-fair/open-class-exhibitor-fair-entry-book/
