TEXAS STATE FAIR CANCELED FOR 2020

  

The State Fair of Texas announced this (Tuesday) morning that they are canceling the Fair for 2020.  The Fair in Dallas was to have taken place September 25th through October 18th of this year.    Fair organizers said they worked to develop contingency plans to keep attendees and workers safe, but knew that if any of those plans failed it would only contribute to further spread of the corona virus.

The cancellation of this year's State Fair of Texas is the first time the fair has not opened in 75 years -- since World War II.  The State Fair of Texas will return in 2021 and is scheduled to run from Friday, Sept. 24 through Sunday, Oct. 17.
