The Orangeville Agricultural Society has cancelled this year’s fair.

They said in a statement on their Facebook page, that with mixed emotions they have cancelled the 167th Agricultural Fall Fair, which was set to be held Sept 3rd to 5th.

They say it wasn’t an easy decision, but that it’s the right choice for the health and safety of the community.

Despite things looking very different with the pandemic by fall, the organizers say it’s too too difficult to plan and fundraise for an event that remains uncertain.

This is the second consecutive fair cancellation, with the 2020 event having been cancelled as well.
