“This isn’t a difficult decision; it’s the only decision,” said State Fair General Manager Jerry Hammer in the announcement that the Great Minnesota Get-Together will not be held in 2020 due to coronavirus health risks.
The decision was announced today following a meeting of the board of managers of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society, which governs the Minnesota State Fair.

Independence Square celebrations - Accra, Ghana
Ghana - Political History
Ghana lies at the heart of a region which has been leading sub-Saharan
African culture since the first millennium BC in metal-working, mining,
sculpture and agriculture.
Modern Ghana takes its name from the ancient kingdom of Ghana, some 800 km.
(500 miles) to the north of present day Accra, which flourished up to the
eleventh century AD. One of the great sudanic states which dominate African
history, the kingdom of Ghana controlled the gold trade between the mining
areas to the south and the Saharan trade routes to the north. Ancient Ghana
was also the focus for the export trade in Saharan copper and salt.
The coming of Europeans altered the trading patterns, and the focus of
economic power shifted to the West African coastline. The Portuguese came
first, seeking the source of the African gold. It lay too far inland for
them to reach; but on the Gold Coast they found a region where gold could be
obtained, exported along established trade paths from the interior. Their
fort at Elmina (the mine) was the first in a series of forts along the
Gold Coast designed to repel the other European seafarers who followed in
their wake, all struggling for their share of the profitable Gold Coast
trade.
In due course, however, slaves replaced gold as the most lucrative trade
along the coast, with the European slave buyers using the forts and
adjoining buildings for their own accommodation and protection, as well as
for storing the goods, mainly guns and gunpowder, which they would barter
for slaves. Some of the forts were also used for keeping newly acquired
slaves pending the arrival of the ships sent to collect them.
But while Europeans quarrelled over access to the coastal trade, and despite
the appalling depredations of the slave traders, which left whole regions
destroyed and depopulated, the shape of modern Ghana was being laid down. At

“Given the severity of the outbreak in the counties in which FRCs are located and the Independent Monitor and Dr. Wise’s observations of non-compliance or spotty compliance with masking and social distancing rules, renewed and more vigorous efforts must be undertaken to transfer (children) residing at the FRCs to non-congregate settings,” Gee wrote in her order.
Judge Gee oversees the government’s compliance with the Flores Settlement Agreement, which sets limits on the length of time children can be held by ICE.
“We are grateful that the federal court has again stepped into this crisis and ordered the release of all minors to relatives in the U.S. in the next three weeks as long as the parent detained with the child wants their child released,” Schey wrote in a statement.
