MELVIN, IL–The Ford County Fair scheduled for June 14-20 will be postponed due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, the fair intends to schedule a shortened event later this
summer in August. They will make every effort to hold an exhibition for junior exhibitors who
have worked so hard on their projects this spring.

 This decision came after weeks of monitoring and many discussions with local health
officials.

 Details on concert ticket refunds can be found on the fair’s Facebook page. Updates to
the fair’s plans will also be posted to their Facebook page as they become available.
