2020 Kinmount Fair cancelled

KAWARTHA LAKES-The Kinmount Fair Board has announced the cancellation of the 2020 Kinmount Fair due to Coronavirus and the provincial shutdown.

“With the current Public Health restrictions in place it is not possible to plan and make preparations as we normally would for the variety of shows at the fair. Added to that issue is the difficulty to manage social distancing for an event the size of the fair.” The Board sadi in a statement on Facebook today.

“The most important thing now is the health and safety of everyone who makes Kinmount Fair what it is – our workers, volunteers, vendors and attendees – so we believe this is the best decision.”

Officials say they will be back in 2021 for the 150th Anniversary Celebrations and will be working on the planning over the next few months.
