Riders are seen on horseback during the Spring Youth Fair in 2018.
Though it wasn’t scheduled to begin until May 1, the Lewis County Spring Youth Fair has been canceled due to COVID-19 fears, according to a notice from organizers.
It would have been the 39th year providing a showcase for youths of the area.
According to the notice, plans are already underway for the 2021 event with new activities such as a youth barbecue contest, preschool competitions and a living skills event.
“Our animals do not transmit coronavirus (COVID-19) but we want to protect them from those of us who do,” organizers wrote.
The event had been scheduled for May 1-3.
