Farm show moved to 22 amid concerns
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
The 2021 Fort Wayne Farm Show at Memorial Coliseum has succumbed to the coronavirus.
The show s promoter, Tradexpos Inc. of Austin, Minnesota, announced Wednesday the situation surrounding the pandemic was too precarious to navigate.
The show, which traditionally takes place in January, attracts tens of thousands of people and vendors from around the Midwest. This year s show was postponed from January to March 9 to 11, but promoters had to rethink those plans, said Dan Slowinski, show director.
After reviewing COVID-19 regulations for events set by the state and current infection rates, the promoter and the Coliseum tried developing an alternative plan, Slowinski said.
Call it the final domino to fall in the indoor farm show world. First the 32
nd annual Fort Wayne Farm Show was moved from its usual January timeframe to new dates in March because of the pandemic. Now the annual event at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne is canceled altogether.
Show Director Dan Slowinski says it was uncertainty that finally made the decision clear.
“With the recent spike in Indiana and the color coordinating that they do with the counties, Allen county being in the orange and flirting with the yellow, it just wasn’t a feasible option. There’s too much on the line we felt like. We felt this was the safest and smartest decision to make for the show altogether.”
