No Ducks, Geese At NIdaho Fairs

Ducks and geese are absent from county fair exhibits across North Idaho this year due to concerns about avian flu. Infected waterfowl can appear healthy and spread the virus to poultry, so the Idaho Department of Agriculture recommended county fair boards bar the birds from exhibits and shows. The North Idaho Fair in Kootenai County is following the recommendation for the fair that starts next Wednesday. So are the Benewah and Boundary county fairs, which began this week, and the Bonner County Fair, held last week. Shoshone County doesn’t host a fair/ Scott Maben , SR. More here.

Question: Do you enjoy the animal exhibits at the fair?
