Summit County Farm Bureau’s 2021 Farm Dog of the Year contest was a huge success – who would have thought that 733 people would take the time during the fair to vote for one of the six candidates displayed at our Antiques Museum. The SCFB Board of Trustees were so pleased with the interest in the contest that they have decided to expand the contest, next year. Keep an eye out for the SCFB’s 2022 Farm Dog of the Year contest AND SCFB’s 2022 Farm Cat of the Year contest, next summer.
And finally, SCFB would like to thank our contest sponsors; Copley Feed and Supply, Manchester Vet Clinic, MedVet in Copley and The Visiting Vet.
