August 4 – 9, 2020

McHenry County Fair Association is working hard to provide current information so that you can keep informed of everything we know to date. As of May 5, the McHenry County Fair is still planning on being held as scheduled on August 4 to August 9, 2020. This includes the 4-H fair as well as the Open and Jr show classes of the McHenry County Fair 2020. Open and Jr Show registration is scheduled to begin online on June 1, 2020. The 2020 Fair Book pages can already be found on our website at: https://www.mchenrycountyfair.com/exhibitors/

We are busy researching and will be prepared to implement plans to provide additional sanitization options for the grandstands and other areas of the fair.

As we continue to work under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we are following their guidelines to reduce social contact and help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus by supporting their recommendations. While the McHenry County Fair Office is closed temporarily, nonessential staff are working from home to be ready for this year’s fair.  We have processes in place so that our service to the public should not be interrupted. Please email diane@mchenerycountyfair or leigha@mchenrycountyfair and we would be happy to help you.

We appreciate your sensitivity and patience around this fluid, unprecedented situation as well as your support of the McHenry County Fair Association. We will continue to closely monitor this evolving situation, and follow the most current guidance from federal, state and local officials. And provide you information and updates on our website www.mchenrycountyfair.com and on our Facebook account.
