Pigs Are Out At Fair

The swine superintendent for the Henry County agriculture society, John Poulson, confirms at least four pigs have tested positive for swine flu at the Henry County Fair. Poulson says he is not aware of any human cases, but notes the fair is taking extra precautions to keep people safe. He says the swine barn is closed for the duration of the fair. He also notes that signs have been posted, advising people to wash their hands and take other precautions before, during and after a visit to the swine barn. The Henry County Fair runs through Thursday.
