COVID shuts down fair
The 98th Annual South Mountain Fair, which had been scheduled for July 28 through August 1, has been canceled in light of the ongoing issues with the COVID-19 epidemic.

It was further stated that the decision was made out of COVID concerns, which included protecting the health and safety of the exhibitors, fair staff, department chairpersons, concessionaires, vendors, and visitors, and that "It has become clear to us that we would be unable to adhere to the CDC and state mandates of social distancing protocols at this time."
