Due to health concerns, one exhibit at the New York State Fair is closed.
Prior to the “Cuddling with a Baby Goat” exhibit’s opening to fairgoers, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets’ veterinarians, who were conducting their routine animal health checks, identified a health concern with one of the baby goats at the exhibit, which was exhibiting signs of a viral disease that could potentially be transmitted to the other goats in the exhibit.
Out of an abundance of caution for the other animals throughout the Fairgrounds, the exhibit has been closed and will not return for the 2024 State Fair.
The Fair opened on Wednesday and will run through Labor Day.
