Events, displays and competitions will be part of the attractions this year alongside other favourites such as the WoofJocks, Demolition Derby, midway rides and grandstand entertainment will also be available, restrictions pending.

LEX’s scheduling distributes the competitions across four additional days to reduce the number of people on the grounds and at the barns at any one time to allow for better physical distancing.

LAS is confident that all competitive aspects of the LEX will be able to be held in-person using comprehensive protocols that have been designed with the health and safety of competitors, officials, visitors, and volunteers in mind according to the press release.

“We’re confident that we can give exhibitors an opportunity to compete in a safe environment that adheres to all the required COVID-19 safety protocols,” said Lois Batty, LAS president. “The spacious LEX Grounds and our multiple airy buildings work well in this type of situation.”

“We’re building on the experience we’ve gained hosting smaller events over the last six months to create a plan that will work safely within the protocols that have been established,” stated Harry Stoddart, LAS general manager.

More information about tickets and the full LEX entertainment schedule will be available in late summer.
