The Woodstock Fair has canceled the 2022 Poultry Show due to concerns about avian flu.
A Facebook post from the Woodstock Fair said that out of an abundance of caution, they have chosen to follow the advice of the veterinary community.
“While this saddens us, we hope this will help to play some small part in stopping the spread of Avian Flu,” the post says.
