New for 2025, Pygmy Goats will be a part of the Ohio State Fair livestock lineup. Please note that this show will be held ahead of OSF dates.
From Brittany Baker, Fairfield County Junior Fair Pygmy Goat Show Committee Member and Ohio State Fair Pygmy Goat Superintendent:
I am happy to announce that we have done it! We have accomplished getting a Pygmy Goat show at the Ohio State Fair for 2025!!! This is huge! There have never been Pygmy Goats at the Ohio State Fair!
The dates are not ideal, but we cannot ask for a lot our first year. So, we will deal with what we are given. And yes, I know this is the same weekend of the Pygmy Goat Show in Wooster Ohio. So, after the Show Sunday at Wooster, bring your goats on down to the Ohio State Fair for another show. More details to come but I did want to make you all aware to not make plans July 13-15th! Ohio State Fair here we come!!
