SHIAWASSEE COUNTY FAIR UPDATE – DAIRY SHOW CANCELLED

After much deliberation and consultation with Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) State Veterinarian Dr. Nora Wineland and our local dairy farmers, dairy animals, regardless of age or lactating status, will not be exhibited at the 2024 Shiawassee County Fair due to the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus infection. This decision is out of an abundance of caution and for the safety and well-being of our county’s dairy herds. The dairy exhibitors will create educational exhibits in the dairy barn to share information regarding the dairy industry with the public. Several activities for the dairy exhibitors to participate in throughout the week in place of the dairy shows are being coordinated. The public is encouraged to visit the dairy barn, meet the youth exhibitors, and have fun learning about the dairy industry.
