Due to health concerns from Covid-19 and the safety of Fair participants, the Lexington Community Fair Board has decided to cancel this year's Fair.
However
We're keeping community spirit alive with some great Fair-related activities for you to participate in while being able to maintain your social distance. We've renamed this year's event
