2020 Junior Livestock Exhibition and Junior Fair Projects Only

   The 2020 Ashtabula County Fair - The Ashtabula County Agricultural Society Board of Directors appreciates your understanding during these difficult times. After careful consideration and lengthy discussions at their June 10th meeting, it was voted to proceed with only a modified Junior Livestock Exhibition and Junior Fair project events. Due to Covid-19 guidelines and restrictions, we are unable to have a Senior fair (rides, grandstand events, side shows, carnival games, and other Senior fair events.) By doing so, the 2021 Ashtabula County Fair, which will be our 175th and future fairs will be even better. Stay tuned for updates and information on dates and times of shows and the livestock sale.
