The Fowlerville Board voted to postpone the traditional 2020 Fowlerville Family Fair, July 27 – August 1, 2020. The 2021 Fair dates will be July 26-31, 2021.
During the COVID-19 crisis, the fair board has remained constant and had continued to plan and push forward. The board postponed making these decisions for as long as possible and we thank everyone who encouraged us for many months.
At the root of the decision was the State of Michigan’s current crowd size restrictions that vastly limit the fair board’s ability to provide an experience fairgoers would be familiar with. Skerbeck Entertainment Group, the fair’s carnival and midway, was also notified by LARA- MI Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the state’s licensing agency, that amusement devices, other than zip lines, are not permitted to operate at this time.
The Board is still planning to move forward with the Youth Show, which includes the non-animal, livestock and horse shows as well as the auctions. This will be an exhibitor-only competition with no public attendance permitted, except for auction times. The show schedule and details will be published as they are finalized.
While we understand this isn’t the outcome we all wanted, our goal now is to provide the best experience for the youth who deserve the opportunity to show their projects and be recognized for their hard work. Please be patient with us as we are all trying to make the very best out of a difficult situation.
