With caution and precautions to keep participants safe from Covid-19, the Elroy Fair held a modified event that involved youth exhibitors only at its junior judging event in June.
The Elroy Fair is a district fair, not a county fair. After canceling the fair to the public in May, two weeks passed before the fair board decided to hold a junior judging event only.
“Through communication with the health department, the city, and a compilation and sharing of a document that outlined all guidelines and procedures that would be followed when gathering for judging, planning went forward and a successful event was realized,” according to a statement from the Elroy Fair Board.
Here is the list of champions and department winners for the Covid-19 edition of the Elroy Fair. A complete list of results can be found online at www.ElroyFair.com.
