Whatcom's Northwest Washington Fair is latest summertime victim of coronavirus pandemic
For the first time in 75 years, the Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden will not be held this August.
No carnival rides. No entertainers in the grandstand. No Demolition Derby. No Lynden PRCA Rodeo. No animal or craft exhibits. No 4-H and FFA competitions. No fair food. And no Moo-wiches!
All of it was officially called off Thursday, April 30, due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a release from the Fair Board.
The board voted unanimously to honor the recommendation of the Whatcom County Health Department and not hold the fair this summer, the release stated, adding that you can mark your 2021 calendar for Aug. 16-21.
