Logan Smallsreed, then 11, of Southington, a member of the 4-H Trumbull County Dairy Judging Team, has a little talk with “Edith,” before showing her at the 2019 Trumbull County Fair. Last year’s fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and this year’s fair also is on track to be canceled.
Rodney Arter, president of the Ohio Fair Managers Association Board of Directors, expressed disappointment with Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation to allow fairs to operate as usual in 2021.
The decision could have a major impact on the 175th annual Canfield Fair, set for Sept. 1-6, and 175th Trumbull County Fair, set for July 13-18.

The 2021 fair schedule was recently announced by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, although it is unknown what the fairs will look like next year.
Katie Boyer, Department of Agriculture public information officer, said it is unknown as to what restrictions will be put on the 2021 fairs.
“There have been no new orders issued, but the current order still stands, as it’s indefinite,” she explained. “There’s been no mention as to when this current order expires.”

Several bills have been sent to the Governor’s office this week as the Ohio General Assembly finalized its work for the year.  Here is a snapshot of some of the highlights of the bills that have passed:
APPROPRIATIONS
Capital Budget Bill (HB 310) – the bill contains $2.1 billion for the repair, reconstruction, and construction of capital assets of state agencies, colleges, universities and school districts and local projects.  The bill also includes a number of funding measures including shifting $700 million in Medicaid costs due to a temporary boost in the federal share of Medicaid and appropriates all unspent federal CARES funds to ensure they may be approved for use if Congress and the President extend the spending deadline.
