HARRINGTON – All concerts connected with this year’s Delaware State Fair have been canceled, fair officials announced Monday. The demolition derby has also been canceled. The fate of horse racing night, which is operated by Harrington Raceway and Casino, has not been decided.
The fair itself is still on, according to Delaware State Fair assistant general manager Danny Aguilar, however officials are working the governor’s office on social distancing guidelines and any changes that may have to take place by the time the fair takes place July 23-Aug. 1.
“While no one knows for sure where we will be in late July in terms of Governor Carney’s plans to re-pen Delaware’s economy, one thing for sure is that the M&T Bank Grandstand and Quillen Arena Q-Series concert and show environment are not currently flexible enough to support the concept of social distancing as we understand it” said Delaware State Fair General Manager Bill DiMondi in a prepared statement Monday.

ReplyDeleteIf the heat is like it usually is during the fair, it should definitely kill the virus. It almost kills me every time I go.
