The Linn County Fair in Central City resumes live poultry displays after a year ban due to avian flu. 4-H superintendent Cindy McDonald notes a limited number of birds this year with 300 to 325 entries, down from previous years. In Iowa the disease killed 31.5 million chickens and turkeys, prompting cancellations last year.
