Due to the “highly pathogenic avian influenza,” or bird flu, organizers with the Shiawassee County Fair have canceled their 2024 dairy show.

This comes after “much” deliberation and consultation with Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, or MDARD, State Veterinarian Dr. Nora Wineland, according to organizers on Facebook.

“This decision is out of an abundance of caution and for the safety and well-being of our county’s dairy herds,” organizers said.

In place of the dairy show, guests can find educational exhibits about the dairy industry.
