Hall of Veterinary Health

07/08/2021

We wanted you to know that the NYSVMS Board has decided to permanently close the Hall of Veterinary Health at the NYS Fair. It was a very tough decision that was not taken lightly. We want to thank all of you for your years of support making it the best hands-on display for children at the Fair! We know how many thousands of kids (and adults) learned about veterinary medicine and veterinarians from this exhibit each year since the 1970’s and it is sad that this has come to an end. Thank you.

Hall of Veterinary Health at NYS Fair cancelled for 2020

Due to the uncertainty of the safety issues surrounding COVID-19, NYSVMS is sad to announce that the Hall of Veterinary Health at the NYS Fair (which was to be held August 21-September 7) is cancelled for 2020. The risks of holding a public hands-on exhibit during this health crisis were just too high. Thank you all for your support and understanding.
