Officials with the Hopkinton Fair announced Wednesday that they will cancel this year's event over coronavirus concerns.
Officials said they made the "difficult decision" after talking to many groups, including police, fire and health officials.
"The health and safety of everyone takes precedence during this unprecedented time," officials wrote on Facebook.
The news comes just two days after the Cornish Fair was canceled. In all, eight state fairs have been called off this year.
The Hillsborough County Agricultural Fair (Sept. 11-13) and the Deerfield Fair (Oct. 1-4) have not been canceled at this time. Plans for the 2020 Rochester Fair have not been announced.
