FOH - July (posted July 20, 2018)
Health Considerations When Attending the Fair
Sanitize your hands before and after you handle the animals or when entering and leaving
the barns or areas where the animals are being kept. Various gastrointestinal illnesses can
be acquired by unknowingly ingesting bacteria or other contaminants found in areas
where animals are being kept. It is best practice to wash your hands before
putting anything into your mouth (food, drink, fingers, pacifiers, etc),
especially after handling or being around animals.
Leave baby strollers outside the barn areas and carry small children
through the barn so they do not come into contact with animal waste
or infected materials such as animal bedding.
Keep hydrated and stay out of the sun. Use a high rated
SPF sun screen to avoid overexposure and wear a hat
to keep the sun off your face.
The Langlade County Health Department invites
everyone to come out to the fair and see all the
exhibits and animals. Have fun on the rides,
watch the shows, enjoy the family friendly
atmosphere, and be safe.
