MADERA - A little less than a month ago, the Madera District Fair Board of Directors announced the cancellation of all of the livestock shows and auction at the 2020 Madera Fair. At that time the board all knew that there was a possibility that the Fair would be cancelled as well, but felt the need to hold off on that decision and continue to work with the county and with the State in the hopes of being able to present some type of an event to the community.
The Board and fair staff know that there was no way that this “social distancing” Fair would look anything like a traditional Fair, but they also knew in their hearts that the community needed to be able to come together and celebrate as one instead of being stuck in our homes.
