In order to assure the safety of all guests and Central Oregon communities,
the Fair will be following all state and local health mandates regarding COVID-19.
These adjustments will include reduced exhibits in some departments,
longer hours for exhibit intake and a change to exhibit pick up days and times.
The Fair appreciates your understanding of these decisions.
Due to limited capacity in the animal barns there will be no open class
livestock exhibits accepted for the 2021 Deschutes County Fair
CHANGES TO THE 2021 OPEN CLASS STATIC DEPARTMENTS:
Pre-registration for static exhibits is strongly encouraged as Covid-19 state and local
health mandates on building capacity may limit the number of last minute walk in entries.
