Throughout the fair
The OSU Extension Family Food Educators (formerly the Masters Food Preservers) will be on hand at the 2007 Coos County Fair to answer questions about food preservation.
Trained volunteers will be available from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to address concerns about preserving food safely and all aspects of home canning as well. Several areas covered in food preservation include pickling, drying, smoking, freezing and the “how-to” of fresh jams, jellies, preserves and pie fillings.
There will be Home Extension brochures for sale for a small fee, and information and sign-up sheets for classes and instruction. Instant and regular Clear-Jel will again be available for sale. Clear-Jel is the commercial trade name for a modified food starch that is resistant to breakdown at high temperatures, making it an excellent thickener for cooking and canning.
There also will be a raffle basket filled with kitchen tools and treats. The winning ticket will be drawn on the last day of the fair and the winner notified by phone.
Bus Shuttle
Laidlaw will be providing a shuttle service to the Coos County Fair on Friday and Saturday.
The shuttle will pick up at Pony Village Mall and Wal-Mart. The first pickups will be at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The final return to Coos Bay will be approximately 11:30 p.m.

Birthing center
The fairgrounds will have an animal birthing center open all day at the fair.
Presentations by the 4-H and local vets will happen daily and there will be a contest ongoing for the birthday of one of the animals.
