If any local event would mark a real return to normal, that would be the Clark County Fair, held every early August.

“I am so hopeful for it,” said fair manager and CEO John Morrison. “We are planning on it and moving in that direction. I am spending all day every day at my desk at home, making all the same arrangements I would be making if I was there at the office.”

If local health and state government authorities permit large gatherings by August, Morrison said, “We’ll be ready to do it.”

A firm decision should come after May 4, which is when Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s current stay-at-home order is set to expire.

“Obviously, data and crowd size limitations will drive the decision,” Morrison said.

The Clark County Fair recently posted statements on its website and social media refuting a rumor that its 152nd event, set this year for Aug. 7-16, had been canceled. Somebody must have Googled “Clark County Fair” and seen news about a cancellation, Morrison said — but said the Googler didn’t read far enough to realize that news was about Clark County, Nevada, not Clark County, Wash.
