According to the Glens Falls Post Star, fair officials are still waiting for specific guidelines for county fairs after New York State announced that amusement parks and outdoor gatherings can resume this summer. In April, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that state fairs could operate at 50% capacity with masks and social distancing. The Washington County Fair Board told the paper they began planning for the 2021 season without the specific guidance for county fairs because of their limited planning time.
