In light of COVID-19, Mercer County Cooperative Extension Agents and staff teamed up with Mercer County Fair & Horse Show Board and Mercer County FFA to develop a plan that would allow Mercer County to continue with its long standing, rich tradition of the county fair.  Mercer County 4-H and ANR agents worked diligently with Mercer County FFA advisors to develop a set of guidelines which will allow the livestock shows to happen safely for exhibitors and staff alike.  Then they worked with the Mercer County Health Department and Mercer County Judge Executive to get the plan approved.  One of the key pieces of this plan is requiring pre-registration of all entries (livestock and floral hall).  To accomplish this effort, Mercer County Extension Agents and staff made the decision after consulting with an online entry company to move all entries online.  The agents and staff worked diligently with limited time to get the system set up and information sent out to fair exhibitors.  This system is going to allow for more efficient use of agent and staff time before, during and after county fair.  It will make both the entry and reporting aspects quicker and easier so agents and staff will be more efficient during county fair time.
