The Seymour A and P Society met on Monday night to discuss the viability of this year’s show, concluding that it should not run in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Society president Jason Ronald said volunteers, who were relied on to put on the show, expressed their concern about the event going ahead.
“We want to have the show as it is important to the community and very popular,” he said.
“But it would be too costly and too difficult to put all the safeguards in place to make it happen.
“It’s a disappointing result but necessary to ensure restrictions are adhered to.”
Mr Ronald thanked the community for its support through the years and said the dates would be reserved for a possible smaller event.
“If things improve, we may be able to have some kind of event on October 2 and 3,” he said.
“But sadly, the Seymour Show as we know it will not go ahead in 2020.”
