There will be a 2020 Clay County Fair, but it will be a streamlined affair.

The fair association said the 2020 Clay County Fair Pageants have been canceled. Concerns over complying with the governor's "Restore Illinois" program led to the decision. A Facebook post by the Fair Association stated they feel this is the best decision with the girls' best interest in mind.

The fair will feature a few days of in-person junior livestock shows, but not 4-H shows, which are being handled separately in Illinois this year.

Additional events will be announced as the fair draws near.

The Fayette County Fair has been canceled, and the Jasper County Fair has been postponed until later this year.
