Questions and answers about the cancellation of the 2020 State Fair and our brick, bench and table program:
Is my brick, bench or table still being produced?
Yes – We are working with our producers to have these delivered to the fairgrounds for this year. Our plan is to follow our original timeline and have the bricks, benches and tables delivered and installed in early August.
Will I get to see my new brick, bench or table this year?
We will do all we can to make this possible! While we’re not sure exactly what it will look like yet, we are planning for a way for you to be able to see your brick, bench or table on the fairgrounds this year. If we are unable to have an in-person gathering, we are also working on a way to virtually show each person their brick, bench or table through that means.
Does the 5-year warranty include 2020?
We will extend the 5-year warranty an additional year for all bricks, benches and tables delivered in 2020.
Can I still order a brick, bench or table right now?
The deadline for benches, tables and bricks to be ordered this year has passed (June 1 and July 1 respectively). For contributions received after the deadlines, these items will be made in 2021.
