❗️Attention 2025 Poultry and Dairy Cattle Exhibitors ❗️️

Due to the widespread HSN1 Avian Influenza (Bird Flu), the State Veterinarian has implemented a ban on all California Poultry and Dairy Cattle Exhibitions at Fairs and Shows until further notice.

As noted in the memo, the State Veterinarian "will continue to assess the threat over the next few months and rescind the ban if the situation changes." The Nevada County Fairgrounds will closely monitor the situation and provide updated information as we receive it.
