The Colorado Department of Agriculture is opening the application period for agricultural events organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to apply for relief grants passed by the legislature in House Bill 21-1262.
County fairs, and other ag events that sustained a loss in 2020 due to COVID-19, are eligible to apply. Applications are open now until September 10, 2021. A committee will be convened to determine eligibility of applicants.
