Hamilton Co. Community Fair Cancelled: Jr. Fair Exhibition In The Works

The Hamilton County Community Fair is normally a stop on Eagle Country 99.3's Fairs & Festivals Tour.

(Hamilton County, Oh.) – One of the more popular county fairs in the tri-state area has been cancelled.

The Hamilton County Community Fair Association Board announced Tuesday that the annual Hamilton County Community Fair scheduled for July 8-11 has been cancelled.

The decision to cancel the fair comes after the board received notice that Stricker’s Grove Amusement Park will not open for the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns.

Stricker’s Grove Amusement Park has long been the host of the Hamilton County Community Fair.

The Association Board is exploring the possibilities of holding a Junior Fair Exhibition. A spokesperson issued the following statement:

“The board is taking every precaution to protect the exhibitors. We are developing a plan that will allow us to carry out our mission while offering opportunities to showcase the hard work of youth exhibitors. The decision will be made based on considering public safety, in coordination with Hamilton County Health Department, while maintaining fiscal responsibility. This is a fluid situation and we will share our plans as they are finalized. Learning to work through the crisis has not been an easy process but we ask that you work with us to ensure that putting people first, we put health first.”
