There will be no Poultry Show at the Geary County Free Fair this year.

That’s because of a state agriculture order prohibiting movement of Kansas poultry in a move to prevent the spread of a devastating form of Bird Flu.

The order cancels all poultry related shows and events in Kansas through the rest of this year.

Chuck Otte, Geary County Extension Agent, confirmed there will be an impact on the Fair. “Well it just basically shuts off the chickens, the waterfowl. But the entire 4-H Poultry Show won’t happen this year because it’s against the law to move poultry around. Includes pigeons, all the birds that might normally be there. We can’t have it, that’s all there is to it.”
