KEWAUNEE COUNTY (NBC 26) -- Organizers for the Kewaunee County Fair are canceling this year's fair due to concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19).

“The safety for all who are involved in the community is our top priority,” said Isabella Haen, Secretary for the Kewaunee County Fair Board.

Fair organizers say the virus has impacted local businesses who sponsor the fair. A news release from organizers says the Kewaunee County Fair Board also reviewed the financial impact and uncertainty for social gatherings in making a final decision to cancel.

The Kewaunee County Fair Board will begin planning for the 2021 fair, which is scheduled for July 8 through 11.
