Dear Customers,

We want to assure you that we take the health and well-being of our community, customers, and associates very seriously. Like you, we're closely monitoring the quickly developing effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

After much deliberation and careful consideration, we regret to inform you we have decided to cancel Cabin Fever Expo 2021 due to COVID-19. This is a particularly difficult decision with this being our 25th anniversary.

​

• We are the largest show of the year (other than the Lebanon Fair, which is mostly held outdoors) held at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center, categorizing our event as the highest risk by the state of Pennsylvania.  

• Vendors, exhibitors and attendees travel great distances to come to our show. Some states require mandatory quarantine upon returning from trips so these individuals would be required to isolate upon their return home for 14 days. There are currently 26 states on Pennsylvania's travel list where quarantine is recommended upon return.

• Many vendors, exhibitors and attendees are seniors, putting them in a vulnerable position as high risk.

• Given the size of our show, we would have to limit the number of vendors, exhibitors and attendees in order to maintain adequate social distancing even with the requirement of masks worn by everyone; no exceptions.  

• Even with following CDC and local guidelines, it would be a nearly impossible task due to the size of our show to monitor everyone for compliance and police any violations.

• The PA Farm Show is the largest agricultural expo in the country and they have moved to a virtual event for 2021. The last days of their event are the same as our event was due to begin.

• Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on possible virtual events for 2021.

We hope you understand our reasons for the cancellation and plan to come back strong in 2022!

Sincerely,

Jared, Jen, Gary & Joan Schoenly
