Following the advice of the California Department of Food and Agriculture and due to the confirmed case of Newcastle disease in San Mateo County, the San Mateo County Fair announced the suspension of its 2019 poultry show in its Agricultural Livestock Department.
The Board of Directors will formally take action on the Poultry Show suspension on March 27 at its regularly scheduled board meeting.
“Due to the severity of this virus [Virulent Newcastle disease] and the serious threat to the poultry industry in California, the California Department of Food and Agriculture recommends that the San Mateo County Fair Board adopt a local policy addressing the suspension of its poultry show for the 2019 fair season,” said` Dana Stoehr, chief executive officer of the San Mateo County Fair.
The fair board will work with the local 4-H and FFA representatives to coordinate a birdless poultry exhibit for the 2019 fair and encourage students to participate in an educational display about the poultry industry.
Poultry entries represented 241 of the 5,818 plus entries to the 2018 San Mateo County Fair. Fair representatives emphasize this is a temporary suspension affecting only the poultry exhibits.
