Chautauqua County was the first in Western New York to have its county fair canceled in 2021. Without guidance, others may be following suit.
On Tuesday, the Chautauqua County Fair Board of Directors announced it was delaying the fair for the second year in a row. It was originally scheduled for July 19-25.
Fair Board President Dave Wilson said the board made the decision because of lack of information from the state. “Basically, there’s no guidance from the governor,” he said during an interview Wednesday.
