A reminder that all poultry (not waterfowl) MUST be tested before being brought to fair if they are over 4 months and do not have a current pullorum certificate.
In the past the state did some testing at the night chickens arrived. HOWEVER this year the state agent has to be at another county fair and will not be there. (This is a RECENT CHANGE.) So all the birds must be tested ahead of time. There are 5 opportunities before our fair. One is this Friday. Two are right before our fair starts. You could make a field trip to the Canton Learning Farm and make it an educational opportunity for your family- they have lots to do there.
If you would like to bring a bird to the Fair that has NOT yet been tested, please go to one of the clinics listed below:
