The Grays Harbor County Fair team asked us to share with the 4-H community that due to the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), poultry will not be exhibited this year.
4-H members are encouraged to showcase their year-long project knowledge by signing up for other special poultry classes described below at (http://www.fairentry.com/Fair/SignIn/16850). With these changes in mind, 4-H exhibitors can now submit poultry exhibit information in the FairEntry system until Tuesday, July 26 (except for market poultry classes). The 4-H poultry superintendent team will be reaching out to youth and families once they submit exhibit information to FairEntry.
We’re very sorry to everyone that this affects, but the health of our exhibitors and their animals is a top priority. Thank you all for your understanding.
