BARN DISPLAYS
In celebration of America’s 250th birthday this year, the Fair Board is asking that all barn displays reflect our nation’s milestone anniversary.

ATTENTION SWINE EXHIBITORS: PRRS/PEDv Testing
The Fair Board has adopted DATCPs recommendations set on March 5 that repeals PRRS/PEDv testing requirements, yet requires a standard intra-state swine health certificate. It is important to note that this waiver ONLY applies to the PRRS/PEDv testing. Standard health papers/testing are still required.
