MURILLO, Ont. – The Murillo Fair has been cancelled for 2020.

Organizers had held out hope the annual tradition could be salvaged, but because Canuck Amusements had decided to not tour with their midway rides and most of the judges for the fair had declined to take part, the decision was made to cancel.

“We will be doing some much needed work and repairs on the grounds and are looking forward to next year while following social distancing,” the organizing committee wrote on the fair’s webpage.

All horse events scheduled for June have also been cancelled.
