The Steele County Free Fair in Owatonna is gearing up for a return to “normal.” The theme this year is “Bringing back the Fun in 2021,” and fair officials say they remain optimistic for a comback this year, but admit there are still some uncertainties. Fair staff are working on multiple plans based on possible guidelines from political and health officials as they prepare for all the regular attractions that bring about 300,000 visitors each year to Owatonna, and some new features they hope will bring a smile to masked attendees. Dates for the Steele County Fair are August 17-22.
