Have Fun and Stay Safe at the Fair

Ashley Svaty, Nutrition, Food Safety and Health Agent

Fair season has arrived in the Post Rock District! 4-H’ers have been busy throughout to ensure their projects are fair ready and Post Rock District staff have been working with community task forces to ensure our 2020 fair goers are safe and healthy as we navigate through COVID-19. While out and about visiting a fair this summer, keep in mind the following to stay healthy and have fun!

• Follow local health and safety guidelines regarding physical distancing and masks
• Utilize the handwashing and/or hand sanitizing stations located throughout the fairgrounds
• Stay in the shade when possible or visit the fairgrounds in the morning or evenings when the temperatures are cooler
• Wear sunblock and a hat to block the sun
• Wear comfortable shoes so you can get your steps in while viewing the exhibits
• Stay hydrated and drink water while at the fair and before visiting the fairgrounds
• If you are unsure about physically going to the fair, visit virtually and follow the county fair events on Facebook
