The Nez Perce County Fair will be conducted with some minor adjustments to help mitigate the potential spread of the coronavirus.

Officials say sanitizing stations will be at each ticket booth so patrons can cleanse their hands as they enter, and portable hand-washing stations will be placed around the fairgrounds and serviced twice each day. Additionally, high-touch areas will also be sanitized frequently.

Face masks will be encouraged, but not required and officials will have masks available at all fair entry points.

Social distancing will also be encouraged via signage and through the use of markings on floors inside buildings.

Food vendors and a carnival with games and rides will be back along with entertainment on the fair ground stages.

The Nez Perce County Fair begins September 23rd and runs through the 26th in the Lewiston Orchards. (Lewiston Tribune)
