2020 Jefferson County Fair cancelled

KEARNEYSVILLE, W.Va. — The annual Jefferson County Fair has been added to the list of events statewide cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Jefferson County Youth Fair Association released a statement on the decision. The fair was supposed to happen August 16-22 in Kearneysville.

“We realize this is yet another disappointment to many of you, during a time when events of all types are deciding not to operate for the 2020 season.
