ATTENTION EXHIBITORS: White Feather Farm has donated bagged shavings for all poultry exhibitors and shavings for other areas. This is the equivalent of a semi load of shavings...FOR FREE! White Feather Farm also sponsored all of our poultry awards this year! Plus, it's a pretty cool feed store and country farm market. Remember buy local, support local.

Shavings will be available in our area for use in your poultry pens during the week of fair.

Fair is just a few short months from now. A few hatcheries are having difficulty filling orders for meat pens so please make sure you have your birds ordered and confirmed. This year exhibitors are allowed to have 2 meat pens to sell as long as they are DIFFERENT species. We will continue to keep you updated on any news from MDARD again this year, but we are hopeful for another successful full fair. Please continue to use all bio-hazard protocols on your farm!
