There will be no carnival this year at the Riley County Fair.
After weeks of uncertainty, Danny Ottaway, owner and operator of Ottaway Amusements, confirmed that due to COVID-19, the carnival was being called off. Riley County K-State Extension Director Gary Fike says it’s a huge loss for the fair.
Fike says additional details are still being determined and the schedule for fair activities is subject to change.
In addition to the carnival, there will also be no Kaw Valley Rodeo this year. The Riley County Fair is still scheduled to begin July 23.
