Make your Fair Experience a Successful One:
All animals need to be healthy and suitable for a public exhibition.
The fair is our chance to display our agriculture industry to the public in
a fun positive environment. If you have any concerns regarding the
health status of your animals, a visit by your veterinarian before the fair
for vaccinations and a physical exam may be worthwhile to avoid the
heartbreak of having to remove your animals at the fair check-in for health
reasons.
