Let the countdown begin: Tuesday marked 100 days until the Iowa State Fair returns after its first cancellation since World War II.
The fair, which often draws more than 1 million visitors to the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, is scheduled for Aug. 12-22.
Gary Slater, fair CEO, said earlier this year that, barring a huge and unexpected resurgence of the coronavirus, there will be a fair.
“In terms of whether the fair will go ahead or not, if we continue to get better and better and the virus rate keeps going down and down, I don’t think that’s an issue on whether the fair will go forward or not, Slater told the Des Moines Register in a February interview.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) â Last summer, COVID-19 turned Bay Beach Amusement Park into a ghost town.
Thatâs not the case this time around. Bay Beach welcomed back guests Saturday morning.
Masks outdoors, capacity limits and lone riders, no more. Slowly but surely, Bay Beach Amusement Park is looking like itself again.
But some things wonât change, as manager Jason Arnoldi tells FOX 11â¦.
âAll of the picnic tables are back on the ground, so we welcome people to bring their picnics, but what has remained the same is weâre still following pretty high sanitation standards. The rides are being sanitized on a regular basis, indoors are being sanitized, tables and such, immediately after folks get up.â
