Once again, this year we will be doing a turkey pool for all turkey exhibitors. All exhibitors will need to purchase their poults through the pool to show at the 2021 Knox County Junior Fair. We feel this will benefit the exhibitors with all of them starting on a level playing field.
The turkey poults will need to be purchased by Friday, February 12 by 5 p.m. with the enclosed order form. You will have to purchase at least four per exhibitor but can order more if you wish. If we do not receive your orders by that date you will not be eligible to show turkeys at the 2021 Knox County Junior Fair. Each poult will cost $6.00. Please mail your order form and check made out to….

Pick up for the birds will be March 3 from 2 – 5 p.m. at the Ramser 4-H Activity Center. Be prepared by having a carrying container with some material in the bottom so the poults do not slide around. You should also have your housing location prepared with feed, water, and a heat source ready to receive the birds.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Knox County OSU Extension Office at 740-397-0401.
