Cowden's Pioneer Days for 2020 have been cancelled. 

Officials with the committee announced late Tuesday, that this year's event, scheduled for August 21st thru the 23rd, has been called off due to the Governor closing the entire carnival inspection department. With that department not operating, the carnival Cowden Pioneer Days would have had, is not able to be inspected.

The committee added they are working on events to take place over the summer to give them a larger Cowden Pioneer Days for 2021, which will be the 50th anniversary of the celebration.
