The L.A. County Fair has announced a smaller, safer celebration this year, instead of its traditional annual fair.
"With coronavirus cases unsteady, and the unpredictability of mutating strains and vaccine roll-outs to larger audiences, it would be fiscally unfeasible to plan a grand celebration only to be told a Fair could not be held," an email to would-be fair-goers read.
"We are heartbroken that we cannot hold the LA County Fair as we all know and love it -- It would be a public health and financial risk for us to do so," the email continued. "However, we do hope to have some celebration of the Fair this Fall. It may be a much smaller version, but it will be big in spirit."
Further details regarding the modified fair haven't been announced. Last year, the L.A. County Fair was canceled because of the pandemic.
