Operative words
The 2020 Iowa State Fair has been postponed until 2021.... Why is the Fair postponed? We think the word canceled is so final and we know that we will be back next year, so we choose to say the 2020 Iowa State Fair is postponed.... Who made the decision? The Iowa State Fair Board voted based on information compiled by [staff and public health officials]... all of the different ways to make the 2020 Iowa State Fair work under the current COVID-19 [conditions were considered].
Enforcement
Cancellation by the State board operating the fair
Notes
A special-edition 4-H and FFA livestock show was held in place of the fair.
