POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!
“We’re pushing it back until further notice because of the rising numbers of the Covid cases. We want to follow the protocol and keep everyone safe for both the public and the farmers themselves,” said Elridge “Sparks” Thomas, president of We Grow Food, Inc.
Thomas said, “some new dates have been suggested, but we are still currently undecided as to when the fair will be rescheduled.” When asked how long that decision might take, he said, “We will wait out another month or two.”
