PALESTINE, Ill. – Organizers have canceled the Pioneer City Rodeo.

The Labor Day tradition in Palestine, Illinois has been around since 1967.

They say COVID-19 restrictions and what may or may not be later in the year led to the decision.

Organizers also say there was too much financial risk.

If restrictions lift, there could be some kind of celebration during Labor Day weekend.

Organizers say planning is already underway for 2021.
