The board of directors for the Harford County Farm Fair announced Saturday that the 2020 event would “regretfully” be canceled, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus.

“We look forward to seeing everyone at the 34th annual Harford County Farm Fair from July 26-31, 2021,” according to an emailed statement from Aimee C. O’Neill, the co-chair of Harford County Farm Fair, Inc.

Harford County 4-H is considering how they will accommodate the show and sale of 4-H market livestock. Additional information on that front will be issued by Harford County 4-H, O’Neill wrote.

“If you would like to support the 2020 4-H Market Livestock Club and purchase a 2020 beef, pork or lamb, please contact Mike Doran at highviewfarms@hotmail.com or 443-506-8746,” the statement said.

The 2020 Farm Fair was scheduled for July 27 to Aug. 1 in Bel Air. The summertime staple included 4-H livestock showings and variety of other events throughout the week including a carnival, live entertainment, games and a number of vendors.
