We are asking that you bring a bag or cans of dog or cat food or healthy, non-perishable treats to NEINEA’s 46th Annual Event Weekend. Sue Lazar has volunteered to manage the collection of the contributions and distribute the food to an area food bank to help people in need feed their animal companions. By providing pet food through an established food bank, many pets can remain in their current homes instead of being turned over to local animal shelters or abandoned. Please help us help others!
COVID-19 REGULATIONS PROTECTING EACH OTHER — IT TAKES EVERYONE. WE ALL PLAY A PART IN THIS EFFORT, AND YOU ARE KEY The DuPage County Fair Association has continued to follow the State of Illinois COVID Protocols and Mandates, along with following the CDC Guidelines. The mask mandate and the proof of vaccination requirements will no longer be in effect as of February 28, 2022. We still highly recommend the wearing of masks in our buildings or in large crowd settings, but we will leave it up to individuals to make the call. We ask that all our guests are considerate of the choices individuals make. Show kindness to other guests and our staff. Remain home if you are not feeling well. It is wonderful that the pandemic is easing, but COVID is still with us. Our goal is to keep our staff, guests, vendors, and participants safe. We need our shows and businesses to thrive. We can help keep a lid on COVID by being considerate, kind, and caring for one another. Thanks, Peace. – DUPAGE COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
