Though the state of Indiana has been opening up, my home county has decided to cancel this year's county fair, whichc is often a big deal and brings in people from all over Indiana, particularly the Northwest region. I'm happy to see people taking COVID seriously and cancelling this event despite people wanting it to continue.
