2 Big Georgia Fall Fairs Canceled Because Of COVID-19 Fears
Primary Content
Two large fall fairs in Georgia have been canceled because of fears about COVID-19 transmission.
On Wednesday, organizers canceled the 2020 Georgia National Fair in Perry, a day after organizers canceled the North Georgia State Fair in Marietta. Both events typically attract hundreds of thousands of people. Georgia National Fair organizers said they still intend to host youth livestock shows, but that only the child showing the animal and their immediate families will be able to attend.
The Cobb County Fair Association says it hopes to create drive-through food weekends in late September and early October at the Marietta park that hosts the event. Both groups say they intend to hold fairs in 2021.
