17 March 2021 While many activates were cancelled last year due to COVID-19, many were hopeful this summer would look different. As case numbers continue to rise and vaccination rollout across the province has steadily slowed down, fair games and the sweet smell of fried foods might have to sit out for another summer. James Gibson, president of the Rainy River Valley Agricultural Society (RRVAS), said running the RRVAS annual fall fair, known to many as the Emo Fair, will all depend on whether enough people are vaccinated in the region. “Last year we couldn’t do [the fair] because we couldn’t have that many people together and at this point, we still can’t,” Gibson said.
