The fall festival season is growing ever shorter.

Elsmore Rural-Town Days organizers announced in an email Tuesday they were canceling the 2020 festival.

Johnny Gillham, Elsmore Ruritan president, cited the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s celebration had been slated for Sept. 12.

Already taken off the calendar this fall were Moran Day and Kincaid Free Fair celebrations.

THERE REMAINS one celebration still in the works for Allen County.

Iola’s Farm-City Days Committee announced in a Facebook post earlier this month that plans are still on track for the celebration Oct. 15-17.

Activities were being adjusted to account for social distancing and extra sanitation, the post read.
