FarmFair Cancelled for 2020

It really comes as no surprise given all the events that have been cancelled or postponed this year because of COVID 19.
 
Late last week, Northlands president Peter Male announced the cancellation of the 2020 edition of Farmfair International, which was slated to run from November 11th to the 15th at the Expo Centre. Male said it was a difficult decision but they recognized the responsibility to maintain the health and safety of visitors, exhibitors and staff was paramount.
 
The annual show at Northlands has been around for more than 40 years and Male says plans are already underway for Farmfair 2021.  Farmfair joins the Canadian Western Agribition who cancelled their show back in June.  Farmfair 2021 will be held in Edmonton from November 10th to 14th, 2021.
