The poultry skillathon winners helped sell a Thanksgiving dinner, in place of their poultry projects. Their projects were banned from this year’s fair, due to the avian influenza outbreak.
Skillathon winners were: Masson Sanders, Richland County; Katelyn Vollrath, Union County; Caleb Murawski, Ashland County; Mel Lindner, Erie County; Jillian Salmon, Delaware County; Seth Abel, Licking County; Dorothy Rees, Union County; Autumn Mohler, Union County; Taylor Thatcher, Clinton County; and Mallory Spring, Muskingum County (Mallory also won first place).
The dinner was purchased for $26,000, by Gerber Poultry, Cooper Farms, Weaver Brothers, Case Farms, Hertzfeld Farms, Trillium Farms, Prairie Star Farms, Hemmelgarn and Sons, Cal Maine Foods, Sauder Amish Eggs, Hillandale Farms, Stoller Farms, Kalmbach Feeds, Wendel Poultry Service, Nature Pure, New Day Farms, Mercer Landmark, and the Kroger Co.
