“None of our decisions have come without communication and thought,” McCarl stated, “With this year’s situation, we all have limits regarding grandstands to go by, but we definitely have an advantage with the infield open to fans with plenty of room to social distance.”
Terry also reiterated that the Southern Iowa Fair board have been great to work with and we continue to enjoy working with them. McCarl also encourages everyone to support this year’s Southern Iowa Fair, July 20-25. The fair will feature Diamond Rio in concert, July 25th.
