Fairs return with cautious optimism after COVID changes
County fairs and 4 H shows plan a fuller comeback this summer after pandemic modifications. Great Jones County Fair shifts nine days with youth focus and staged livestock, Johnson County hosts a drive in and separated events, Linn County resumes in person with online previews last year. Public safety remains a priority as organizers adapt to evolving health guidelines and ticketed acts reappear.
