MCLEANSBORO — The McLeansboro Kiwanis regret to announce the cancellation of the 2020 McLeansboro Fall Festival due to the COVID-19 virus and the regulations issued by the State of Illinois involving ride certification and crowd sizes.

According to a press release from the McLeansboro Kiwanis, it has been determined that it would be impossible to present a quality festival safe for all. The organization remains grateful for all who have participated as vendors, sponsors or volunteers, churches, the City of McLeansboro, Hamilton County Board and Sheriff, and to the community at large and hope to have your continued support.

Officials hope to have the Fall Festival back next year even bigger and better while Hamilton County celebrates its 200th Bicentennial Celebration.
