Jessie Holtzscher, 18, of Waterville, picks up a fake turkey in order to show Greg Wilson, head of the Lucas County Fair Poultry Department, and Judge Tyler Murray of Bellefontaine, Ohio, how to display a turkey for judging, during the Junior Fair Poultry Show at the Lucas County Fair on Tuesday in Maumee. Cages were empty and fake birds were being used for competition rather than live birds due to a ban on live poultry showings at state and county fairs because of the bird flu. The fair runs through Sunday.
