RHINELANDER - You may have heard that the Oneida County fair is canceled this year due to COVID-19.
Just recently fair organizers including Tom Barnett and Meg Sprecksel announced the fair will still happen--but virtually.
Fair treasurer Meg Sprecksel said the idea of having a virtual fair rather than not having a fair at all came as a surprise.
"After our decision to cancel the fair, we saw some other fairs going virtual, and it enticed us," she said.
The fair's Facebook page, Instagram, and website (ocfairwi.com) will encourage people of all ages to participate, even if it's not physically in-person.
While traditional fair games are primarily kid-friendly, Sprecksel said the virtual fair is different.

WISCONSIN - Coronavirus cases are on the rise globally as well -- further stressing the global supply chain for personal protective equipment. Newswatch 12 spoke with Senator Tammy Baldwin on Wednesday. She called the lack of federal response to COVID-19 inexcusable.
"I think about how different things would've been today if in the earliest days President Trump had used the something called the Defense Production Act," said Baldwin.
Senator Baldwin argues this would've made sure all the personal protection equipment we needed would have been produced. She says different hospitals and health care facilities have been competing over the same equipment.
