Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it has just been announced that the Los Angeles County Fair has been canceled for the second consecutive year.
Even though we are seeing a drop in cases and increased distribution of vaccines, the pandemic has forced the cancellation of the LA County Fair. Instead of the 19- celebration of your favorite carnival foods and rides, the operators of the Fairplex in Pomona announced plans for a smaller event in the fall. There are still no official details on that just yet.
According to Walter M. Marquez, the Chief Executive of Fairplex, he stated "The L.A. County Fair is our flagship event, the foundation on which we build our community engagement. But we, in good conscience, could not move forward with planning our big, campus-wide fair this year, not knowing where the pandemic would be come summer.”
Do you think it was a good idea to cancel?
