Letter: 4-H and FFA poultry displays shown in Goshen Barn at Hardin Fair

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, September 1, 2015

Icon viewers:

The Hardin County Fair is just around the corner, and it is a very exciting time for the youth in our community.  They have put a lot of hard work into their 4-H and FFA projects and are ready to show them off.  While many are preparing their animals for show, our youth with poultry projects may be feeling a bit of disappointment.

As many know, poultry exhibits have been banned from all fairs in the state. Our youth will not be bringing their birds to the fair, but will instead display educational posters about their projects, including photos of their birds.
