Drug Use Notification Forms (DUNF) Must be Completed Online, there will be no paper copies available this year per The Ohio Department of Agriculture request.
The Drug Use Notification Form must be completed by all market and lactating livestock that are exhibited at the Morgan County Fair. See list below.

Fair is just around the corner, time to get excited!
I want to let all market exhibitors know who will be participating in the sale this year that sale buyer photos are to be brought by the exhibitors similar to last year. You may turn them in at Skillathon this Saturday, August 20th or they can be turned in to the extension office. They are due Monday September 5th at the latest and can be turned into the barn meeting at that point. With that in mind, please note that the pictures given MUST be in the CORRECT Format. Pictures must be horizontal orientation as well as the child MUST be dressed appropriately, keep in mind some buyers may hang their photos up in businesses or somewhere for all to see so dress your best! If they are not in correct format or not what has been specified below the pictures may be refused. Please see the photo attached below for what is expected for the photos.
This year kids will also be expected to pick up their photos during the sale to hand deliver to the buyers. This avoids the issues of buyers not checking out and not receiving their cards forcing them to be mailed and potentially still not being received.
If you have any questions please call the office! 740-962-4854
Skillathon day we have a tight turnaround with other events being hosted the same day at the fairgrounds on August 20th, there will be no accepting anyone later than 3:30pm! You must be signed in on August 20th by 3:30 pm no later! If you cannot meet that time frame call the office 740-962-4854.
Skillathon study guides are available on the Morgan County Extension Website. Here is a link to make it easier to find them. https://morgan.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/morgan-county-fair
Reminder Skillathon is scheduled for August 20th.
With concerns around HPAI and poultry rising, especially as we approach fair season, good biosecurity practices are very important! Here are some tips and tricks for our poultry people.
Also, please see below for the recording from Tim McDermott’s Poultry Biosecurity webinar earlier this spring. It is up on YouTube here for you to view in case you missed it! – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnseqPmzJO4
You can learn about health risk and biosecurity practices specific to poultry projects!
It seems there has been some confusion over the date for market livestock tag-in. Tag-in will be Saturday, June 11th from 7am-1pm at the fairgrounds. We look forward to seeing you there!
If you are taking Livestock projects you should have your calendar marked for Skillathon on August 20th. The study guides are posted on the Morgan County Extension website. Here is the link to the Junior Fair items on the website where you can find the guides.

The annual QA letter was mailed to all 4-H members in the county taking livestock projects. Sometimes letters in the mail are not received in a timely manner so we have posted the letter on our county Extension website. Here is the link to the website where you can find the information you need.
